Question

I am just starting to use pbkdf2.

I’ve found this code here: http://crackstation.net/hashing-security.htm#phpsourcecode which is free, but my question is:

What is the syntax to have a pbkdf2 password stored in db?

I mean for md5 you just had to type md5($_POST[‘Pass’]) and it was done.

With this method how is it done? Do I include the code in my page and call it somehow?

Thank you

pbkdf2 basically does the same as md5, so to hash a password you would:

$encoded_password=create_hash($_POST['Pass']);
