XVI. Crack Functions

简介

These functions allow you to use the CrackLib library to test the 'strength' of a password. The 'strength' of a password is tested by that checks length, use of upper and lower case and checked against the specified CrackLib dictionary. CrackLib will also give helpful diagnostic messages that will help 'strengthen' the password.

注: 本扩展已被移动到 PECL 库中且自以下版本起不再被绑定到 PHP 中：5.0.0.

例子 1. CrackLib example
<?php // Open CrackLib Dictionary $dictionary = crack_opendict('/usr/local/lib/pw_dict') or die('Unable to open CrackLib dictionary'); // Perform password check $check = crack_check($dictionary, 'gx9A2s0x'); // Retrieve messages $diag = crack_getlastmessage(); echo $diag; // 'strong password' // Close dictionary crack_closedict($dictionary); ?>

Following the source of Cracklib 2.7 possible return strings are:

- it is based on a dictionary word

- it is based on a (reversed) dictionary word

- it's WAY too short

- it is too short

- it does not contain enough DIFFERENT characters

- it is all whitespace

- it is too simplistic/systematic

It may be useful for example in localization of your scripts...
