Description:
------------
$pass = 'secret';
$salt = '$2y$07$usesomesillystringforsalt$';

var_dump(crypt($pass, $salt));

* as demonstrated on https://3v4l.org/kuAJO

Test script:
---------------
* works with shorter salt: https://3v4l.org/O654F
* fails with longer salt: https://3v4l.org/dvgnq (includes CRYPT_SALT_LENGTH)

Expected result:
----------------
string(60) "$2y$07$usesomesillystringforex.u2VJUMLRWaJNuw0Hu2FvCEimdeYVO"

Actual result:
--------------

Looks like it was caused by the fix for bug #72703.

Indeed, Damian.

Anatol, with regard to the fix[1]: it seems to me, that it would
suffice to check that the actual salt is not empty, i.e. to do the
following instead:

    if (salt[7] == '$') {
        return NULL;
    }

Christoph,

yeah, that's a better approach. I also completely forgot about the hacks with '$' in crypt(). Re-fixed with 669fda00b75a0d361810429e0ef53f6c740b1727.

Thanks.
