PHP Password hashing

passwordhashing.php

<?php

$username = 'Admin';
$password = 'gf45_gdf#4hg';

// A higher "cost" is more secure but consumes more processing power
$cost = 10;

// Create a random salt
$salt = strtr(base64_encode(mcrypt_create_iv(16, MCRYPT_DEV_URANDOM)), '+', '.');

// Prefix information about the hash so PHP knows how to verify it later.
// "$2a$" Means we're using the Blowfish algorithm. The following two digits are the cost parameter.
$salt = sprintf("$2a$%02d$", $cost) . $salt;

// Value:
// $2a$10$eImiTXuWVxfM37uY4JANjQ==

// Hash the password with the salt
$hash = crypt($password, $salt);

// Value:
// $2a$10$eImiTXuWVxfM37uY4JANjOL.oTxqp7WylW7FCzx2Lc7VLmdJIddZq




// Verify
$username = 'Admin';
$password = 'gf45_gdf#4hg';

$sth = $dbh->prepare('
  SELECT
    hash
  FROM users
  WHERE
    username = :username
  LIMIT 1
  ';

$sth->bindParam(':username', $username);

$sth->execute();

$user = $sth->fetch(PDO::FETCH_OBJ);

// Hashing the password with its hash as the salt returns the same hash
if ( crypt($password, $user->hash) == $user->hash ) {
  // Ok!
}

Is het de bedoeling dat deze Gist openbaar is?

Oh.. ja, password is example :)
