Description:
------------
PHP has the crypt()-function which can create salted-hashes (e.g. usable for shadow-passwords). Although it's not documented, in PHP 5.2 it was possible to pass the prefix for sha512 like in the corresponding glibc-function.

Example:
echo crypt('foo','$6$$bar$');
gives
$6$$QMXjqd7rHQZPQ1yHsXkQqC1FBzDiVfTHXL.LaeDAeVV.IzMaV9VU4MQ8kPuZa2SOP1A0RPm772EaFYjpEJtdu.

Now the same code in PHP 5.3.1 gives
$6A86JNndVTdM
(which is basically just crypt ignoring the $6-prefix for the salt)

I assume may have something to do with (cited from crypt-documentation):
"Note: As of PHP 5.3.0, PHP contains its own implementation and will use that if the system lacks of support for one or more of the algorithms. "

Reproduce code:
---------------
echo crypt('foo','$6$$bar$');

Expected result:
----------------
$6$$QMXjqd7rHQZPQ1yHsXkQqC1FBzDiVfTHXL.LaeDAeVV.IzMaV9VU4MQ8kPuZa2SOP1A0RPm772EaFYjpEJtdu.

Actual result:
--------------
$6A86JNndVTdM

Which linux distribution do you use exactly (name, version)?

Assigned to Pierre who broke this.

Pierre, this is caused by bad idea of requiring ALL of blowfish, des, ext des and md5. You should provide the fallback only for those that aren't found.

Still need the answer to my question.

I'm using Gentoo Linux. It has no "official" php 5.3 package, I'm using a modified own ebuild/eclass (to allow parallel installation of 5.2/5.3), if that matters you can grab it here:

Hi,

thanks, it was only about having a libc with sha512 at hand to do the tests :)

Thanks,
