The php crypt() method stopped working as expected and in none of the other versions of php it works, a few days ago it was working without problems.




$salt = '$2a$07$h0lysh00ter12Urbw1b1$';
$password = 'Holyshooter12!"';


$hashed_password = '$2a$07$h0lysh00ter12Urbw1b1$.DI/mkzqo1aAw5Q3vIvEubNSk5p30Asi';
$cryptPassword = crypt($password, $salt);
$test = password_verify($password, $hashed_password);
var_dump("check: ", $test);


if ($cryptPassword === $hashed_password) {
var_dump("Password verified!");
}


This code fragment should work but cryp() always returns *0. Note that this has always been working like this and it is not a problem with the code.




if we use php version 7.4
It must be the one where they fix it and if they restart the server it will work for them.




If you copy and paste that code, let it happen here
