From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.crypt#refsect1-function.crypt-
description

I feel it's very important that the docs for crypt() should mention the $2a$ salt 
for CRYPT_BLOWFISH being deprecated and $2y$ being the current style (as per 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypt_(Unix)).

As it stands, the docs propagate old information...

Log: Fix doc bug #62414 (Out of date docs for CRYPT_BLOWFISH). I'd greatly
appreciate a review on this, since I'm not sure it's as well worded or laid out
as it could be -- the one paragraph per hash convention is starting to get a
little tight.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
