Hello, all - I've been trying to figure out a reliable way of creating user:pass combinations to be used from within an Apache-based .htpasswd file. >From what I understand, PHP's crypt() function is almost identical to the Linux system crypt() function, which 'htpasswd' uses. However, when using PHP's crypt(), my result string is much longer than the one that can be found in your ordinary .htpasswd file generated by 'htpasswd'. However, thi smight be what I'm looking for, since 'htpasswd' is know to use two different types of password encryption: (from htpasswd's manpage) "htpasswd encrypts passwords using either a version of MD5 modified for Apache, or the system’s crypt() routine. Files managed by htpasswd may contain both types of passwords; some user records may have MD5-encrypted passwords while others in the same file may have passwords encrypted with crypt()." Does PHP's crypt() use that modified version of an MD5 routine, and that's what I'm seeing? Basically I'd like to make an application that can modify any .htpasswd file, adding and deleting users, without actually running the 'htpasswd' utility.
