Example #1 A crypt_checksalt() example
<?php
// Generate a salt for a legacy method
$salt = crypt_gensalt(CRYPT_PREFIX_STD_DES);
// Check the salt
$test = crypt_checksalt($salt);
var_dump($test === CRYPT_SALT_METHOD_LEGACY);
// Generate a salt for default method
$salt = crypt_gensalt();
// Check the salt
$test = crypt_checksalt($salt);
var_dump($test === CRYPT_SALT_OK);
?>The above example will output:
bool(true) bool(true)
