Comment on Password hashing class (phpass) converted to CodeIgniter library by Arnas

Setting $config['portable'] to TRUE will basically fall-back to md5() so it’s not recommended unless you are expecting to move your codebase between multiple incompatible environments (i.e. move from the host who supports bcrypt to one that doesn’t).

You can read detailed paper about password hashing here – http://www.openwall.com/articles/PHP-Users-Passwords (highly recommended). It also addresses iteration counts.

I didn’t include config file as defaults work fine for me, but you can certainly extend it on your own.

may i know what is for $config['portable'] and $config['iterations'] ?
why not include in .zip for config file?

@sam I think so, I've used it recently on a CI 2.0.2 based project and it was working just fine.

is your library still reliable to use?

This is absolutely fantastic! I was just trying to figure out how to accomplish single field form validation… then I stumbled upon your solution.

Thanks!

Hi Andrew, matches[] is a special case since two fields are involved. I updated my original code to make matches[] rule work, you can take a look and download it here and view updated demo here. One thing to note is that field being matched against (i.e. "password" field in demo) must have id set as the name of input field (check demo source code to see what I mean).

seems to work great, I think there is some issue with the matches[] rule, as when I run the form two fields are matching but it still says not matching, when I run it with my own class that doesnt use javascript instead uses CI form validation, the matches[] rule works fine…
