A library for forward compatibility with PHP password functions.
Checked October 2026.
This library provides forward compatibility with the password functions in PHP 5.5, requiring PHP >= 5.3.7 or a version with the $2y fix backported. It's crucial to upgrade PHP to a newer version due to a security issue with BCRYPT implementation in versions prior to 5.3.7.
