My MD5 password is 49 charicters long?

[Jragon]

Hey,

 

for some reason my incripted password is 49 charicters long?

 

My code:

<?php
include("salt.php");
$pass = 'hello';
$salt = salt(12);
$md5 = md5($salt.$pass);
echo $md5 . '<br />' . $salt;
?>

 

My pass:

lujxikk46nx7l2m94e85ea73176c48d8723fb18211c4a9499

 

My salt:

g4zv7b0zitd9

You must have output somewhere else before you're doing this. The hash you should get is:

 

e85ea73176c48d8723fb18211c4a9499

 

Which is in the string you're getting: lujxikk46nx7l2m94e85ea73176c48d8723fb18211c4a9499. The first part must be coming from somewhere else.

I am wondering if there is something within your "salt.php" script that does something?

 

Try (for the sake of testing) adding this line just before $md5 = md5($salt.$pass);.

 

$md5 = "";

 

I would expect if you do this that the problem should go away... of course this isn't the *solution*, but I'd be interested to know what happens.

The error in my salt.php was:
