Password security in modern PHP
Saved by uncleflo on December 27th, 2017.
Discover how PHP 5.5 enables more-secure password handling. PHP, from the beginning, was a programming language made for building websites. That idea is in PHP's core far deeper than in any other programming language — perhaps one reason why PHP became and remains so popular for building web applications. But when PHP was first crafted in the mid-1990s, the term web application didn't even exist yet. Password protection, then, wasn't one of the features that the PHP creators devoted resources to. After all, you didn't need to worry about passwords when you used PHP just to put a site-visit counter or a date-modified stamp on your web page. But 20 years have passed, and now it's almost unthinkable to create a web application that doesn't involve password-protected user accounts. It's of the utmost importance that PHP programmers safeguard account passwords by using the latest and most secure methods. To that end, PHP 5.5 added a new password-hashing library created by Anthony Ferrara (@ircmaxell). The library makes several functions available that you can use to handle one-way password encryption with current best-practice methods. Other features anticipate future security needs so that as computers and hackers get more advanced, you can stay a step ahead of the bad guys. This article gives you an in-depth introduction to the library's functions and how to make the best use of them.
