i am writing a logon script for a web site where the usernames and passwords are stored in a mysql database.
i insert the code with the ... uh. ok. i got it. the password field i was inserting into was too short for the crypted string.
however, this brings me to another queistion: what is the max difference in length of a crypted string and the original string? is there any general rule that can tell me, for instance, that if i allow passwords to be upto 16 chars long, the crypted version of that password will be X chars?
