For some reason I can not get my function to return a string...
$password = crypt_password_input($password, \"\");
//Encrypt Password longer than 8 characters
f
you have no return statement under this condition block. i have added return there.
if($passwordLength > 8)
{
$encryptString = substr($inputPassword, 0, 8);
$inputPassword = substr($inputPassword, 8);
$newPassword .= crypt($encryptString, "HIDDENSALT");
return crypt_password_input($inputPassword, $newPassword);
}
