crypt

  • PHP’s crypt function returns an encrypted string using a standard Unix DES-based encryption or an alternate based on the system. This operation has very similar usage in PHP and Ruby. Ruby uses the String#crypt method with a single salt parameter to get the same result.

    PHP

    print crypt("my string", "salt");
// => saGMxKJ.nmUhU

    Ruby

    print "my string".crypt("salt")
# => saGMxKJ.nmUhU
