README
There is no way that the best way to generate Apache's apr1-md5 password hashes is from a 7-year-old comment on php.net. Only a n00b would trust a crypto algorithm from a non-security website's forum. Sadly, that is how the PHP community has accessed this algorithm, until now.
Here is a tested, referenced, documented, and packaged implementation of Apache's APR1 MD5 Hashing Algorithm in pure PHP.
Install
composer.json:
{ "require": { "zonuexe/apr1-md5": "~1.0" } }
Use
use zonuexe\Apr1md5; // Check plaintext password against an APR1-MD5 hash echo Apr1md5::check('plaintext', '$apr1$PVWlTz/5$SNkIVyogockgH65nMLn.W1'); // Hash a password with a known salt echo Apr1md5::hash('PASSWORD', '__SALT__'); // Hash a password with a secure random salt echo Apr1md5::hash('PASSWORD'); // Generate a secure random salt echo Apr1md5::salt();
The ideal __SALT__
is an 8 character string. Valid salts are alphanumeric and .
or /
. Shorter salts are allowed. Longer salts are truncated after the 8th character.
