The $1$.NV7oLhO$ is the SALT used by crypt. But to make it easier,
php's crypt() function is smart enough to just take the correct part of
the string and treat it as the salt, so you can pass the whole thing in.
That is, when trying to match up a password, you can do this:
<?php
$match = '$1$.NV7oLhO$Gj/ztvspUcpcJ5iUJiXNo0';
$passwd = 'michellesecret';
if(crypt($passwd,$match)==$match) echo "It matched";
else "It didn't match";
?>
I think you will find that if you echo out the result of
crypt($passwd,$match) in the above, you will see:
$1$.NV7oLhO$Gj/ztvspUcpcJ5iUJiXNo0
