Chilkat ActiveX Downloads ActiveX for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Note: The php_com_dotnet.dll may need to be enabled inside of php.ini.

<?php

// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Crypt2')
$crypt = new COM("Chilkat.Crypt2");

// The BCrypt cost factor (work factor) can be set to a value from 4 to 31.
// The default value is 10.  We'll set it here explicitly to the default value
// to make this new property known.  This line of code can be omitted
// if the default value of 10 is desired.
$crypt->BCryptWorkFactor = 10;

$bcryptHash = $crypt->bCryptHash('mySecretPassword');
print 'BCrypt hash = ' . $bcryptHash . "\n";

// Sample output:
// BCrypt hash = $2a$10$H5kIVktMGzAPKGKNAe9DVu0iwEqfhv/o4MMJ/Dzw/MPy1leOE9NOK

// Note: Your output will be different because the BCryptHash method
// automatically generates a random salt.
