So I have this PHP code,it is meant to encrypt a users password... Three problems/questions:

  1. My 'salt' CHANGES ITS NAME
  2. I get the same result
  3. Is this actually how the result is meant to be?

PHP CODE

password=$_POST['password'];
?>


password", '$2a$09$anexamplestringforsalt$'); 
}
?>

RESULT:

Blowfish: $2a$09$anexamplestringforsaleU79j3Xck4QHAVNZ.exkIn8ZZrZnIrHq

As you can see, my salt goes from $anexamplestringforsalt$ to $anexamplestringforsaleU. (Or is that supposed to happen?) Also, that is the same result I get even after changing the password.

Please help.
