I wouldn't use crypt, instead use one of the proven more secure hashes
like md5 or sha1.
For password hashing I'd use md5 (PHP 3 and 4) if you want broad
support or sha1 for a little more security (sha1 hasn't been in PHP as
long (only since 4.3.0) so you will lose some compatability,

md5 is a one-way hash function. It is great for passwords. (I'm not sure if
that technically qualifies as encryption because it is nearly impossible to
decrypt..hmm) Anyway, I would recommend using it.

Sorry. Just stumbled on crypt()

I know this is an opinion thing but what's the best functions or function set
for password encryption?
Currently my project uses md5 but I thinks it's more for checksums isn't it?
Also, is mcrypt used for passwords? I looks like it's a two-way encryption.

Hi!
I read the PHP manual about the encryption, mcrypt_module_open(). I
have been trying to figure out an example of the parameters inside the
functions. I tried some of these options but I still get the error message
saying "Warning: mcrypt module initialization failed in ". Here's so
Just how are you going to decrypt it? Password encryption is ordinarily
one-way - you have no choice. You have to compare encrypted passwords.

I want to compare a password to a encrypted password stored in my mySQL
database using password('password'), what's the best way to compare the two?
Encrypted the password sent by the user and compare or pull the password
from the database based on username, decrypt it and then compare?
