Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Status: Bogus
Bug Type: *Encryption and hash functions
Operating System: linux
PHP Version: 4.1.1
New Comment:
maybe it behaves like documented, but many php scripts onley uses
crypt("whatever") to crypt something. if the result is stored in a db,
and the db field is limited to 11 chars, then u have fun with this new
feature. if u only have your own php code on a machine, then u can
change the code, but if u have many php driven sites, this will lead u
into trouble, thats why i made our php 4.1.2 work like it worked
before.

The behaviour changed because there was a bug in the
detection for crypt() capabilities in previous PHP versions.
Now it behaves as documented.

The behaviour unfortunatelly did change (and its not documented). You
don't have to disable MD5 like that to get regular crypt, but you would
need to generate a two character salt, which would then be passed as a
second argument to crypt().

ok, found a solution :
1. ./configure [options]
2. edit main/php_config.h and set PHP_MD5_CRYPT = 0
3. compile.

well, the "default encryption type" on the system has not changed
between upgrade from 4.0 to 4.1, so why does the crypt behaviour change
on the way? I really see that as a bug, or please tell me how to revert
to the "normal" crypt (DES). Saw no options in the ./configure as
well... :/
