If your system's crypt() function supports standard DES crypt, then that
will be the default if you do not supply a salt. PHP will generate a
random DES salt for you. If you supply your own random MD5 salt and your
system's crypt() function supports MD5, then it will generate an
md5-encrypted string. That's just the way it works.
If you want PHP to always default to md5 crypt and generate random md5
salts for you then you should undefine PHP_STD_DES_CRYPT in php_config.h
and recompile PHP.
