codeigniter-bcrypt

DEPRECATION WARNING

This library is not maintained, and it is suggested that you don't use it. It was simply a CodeIgniter wrapper around the PHPPass library. Please look into using PHP's native password hasing functions instead.

Bcrypt (PHPPass) for CodeIgniter

Adaption of PHPPass (0.3) for use as a CodeIgniter Bcrypt library.

Allowed for the use of a separate config file, adjusted for some CodeIgniter configurability, added the scope of functions, changed hashing and checking functions to meet CodeIgniter standards for function names.

Installation

• Place Bcrypt.php in your application/libraries folder.
• Place bcrypt.php in your application/config folder.
• Adjust options in the config file as neccessary.

Usage

First, load the Bcrypt library or autoload it in config/autoload.php.

$this->load->library('bcrypt');

Hashing

To hash a password, simply pass the string to hash_password().

$password = 'hunter2';
$hash = $this->bcrypt->hash_password($password);

The function will return the hashed password or * on error.

Checking

To check a hash password, simply pass the string and stored password to check_password().

$password = 'hunter2';

if ($this->bcrypt->check_password($password, $stored_hash))
{
	// Password does match stored password.
}
else
{
	// Password does not match stored password.
}

The function will return TRUE or FALSE dependant on success.
