How do I make a hashed password?

[TVar]

I'm trying to donut in my code.

[anikwa]

hash($hashAlgorithm, $toBeHashed);

For example:

public function hashpassword($pass) {
   return hash("sha512", $pass);
}

Take some time to learn PHPass; not much time need to be totally honest. It'll encrypt your passwords using a collection of techniques fundamental to good security.

Another possibility is password_compat, which provides forward compatibility with the password_* functions in PHP 5.5 (if you're not using one of the release candidates for this version).

It's also very easy to implement....

I'm trying to come up with a joke about salt and pepper, but it's not coming to me.
