Htpassword

[Anon]

Ok, this is driving me mad, I really need some help.

Im using PHP to write to a htpasswd file, using the crypt() function. However, when ever i test my work, the password is wrong. I think i must be using the wrong salt, but ive looked everywhere and can't find the right one.

Can someone please fill in the blank?

$salt = ????????
crypt($password, $salt)

so that it will work in the htpassword file.

thanks!

I use the crypt for a simular use but I dont use salt I just use

$crypted_pass=crypt($passtext);

the basic auth recognises it and lets me in.

Mark.
