Google: [bcrypt php]

that is a bad answer.

the search results from google are all added code, but php supports it natively: http://ca.php.net/manual/en/function.crypt.php

This is not correct! PHP does not do bcrypt natively. Look at the supported options!

Edit: crypt -> bcrypt, stupid iPad autocorrect

am I misunderstanding something? isn't CRYPT_BLOWFISH the same as bcrypt?

Huh... yes it is. They added it in 5.3, silly me.
