Hi,
I have a MySQL database with encrypted passwords, that were created with:
$input_password = $_POST["password"];
$salt = "ab"; /// Salt is always two character string and the same for all
$password_to_save = crypt($input_password, $salt);
[snip]
This used to work on a PC that runs PHP 4.1.2 and MySQL 3.23.36. But when
trying this on other PC that runs PHP 4.3.11 and MySQL 3.23.58, I get no
password match, as $password_to_check is different from the one stored in
the database.
In example: $password_to_check shows "ab2vG8KakAAGY" and the stored one is
"abFcR2QZ/2fUU".
What could be causing this? How should I compare the passwords?

seems to say that crypt varies b/n operating systems. Or perhaps it's
just using a different encryption algorithm. Check the above url for
details...
