Example to BCrypt hash a password.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.65 or greater.

Chilkat PHP Downloads PHP Extension for Windows, Linux, MacOS, Alpine Linux, Solaris

<?php

// The version number (9_5_0) should match version of the Chilkat extension used, omitting the micro-version number.
// For example, if using Chilkat v9.5.0.48, then include as shown here:
include("chilkat_9_5_0.php");

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

$crypt = new CkCrypt2();

// 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->put_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.
