Using PHPass Library in CodeIgniter
Before we start integrating PHPass in your CodeIgniter Project, download the file bellow:
Then upload the phpass folder in your “application/libraries” directory.
Integration
Go to application/config/autoload.php then locate the code:
1 | $autoload['libraries'] = array(); |
Then add the phpass library so that it gets autoloaded every time CodeIgniter is accessed.
1 | $autoload['libraries'] = array('phppass/passwordhash'); |
If you do not want to autoload PHPass then you can construct the library in your Model or Controller like this:
1 | $this->load->library('phppass/passwordhash'); |
Using the Library
PasswordHash class adds salt to the password and hashes it with 8 passes of MD5. MD5 is used by default because it’s supported on all platforms.
To generate a password you can do this:
1 | echo $this->passwordhash->HashPassword('test'); |
Comparing plain password and hashed password:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | $password_hashed = '$P$B55D6LjfHDkINU5wF.v2BuuzO0/XPk/'; $plain_password = 'test'; if($this->passwordhash->CheckPassword($plain_password, $password_hashed)) { echo "YES, Matched"; } else { echo "No, Wrong Password"; } |
