    Fix some lengths in crypt()
    
    Use salt_len_in instead of strlen(salt) or PHP_MAX_SALT_LEN, otherwise too
    much memory will be allocated.
    
    sha512 has a 86 character checksum, not 43. That probably was a copy&paste
    from the sha256 code which indeed has 43.
    
    The allocation also were using sizeof(char *) instead of sizeof(char), thus
    allocating 4 or 8 times as much memory as necessary.

Quick doesn't have to mean dirty: Also applies to PHP!

This is just a quick response to http://me.veekun.com/blog/2012/07/28/quick-doesnt-mean-dirty/. I won't bother to write a proper blog post for this, so a Gist will have to do ;)

When I read that article, one thing really striked me: If you want to quickly create a web app in PHP, you do exactly the same. I mean, exactly.

I never used the Silex microframework before, so I took this as a chance to see how it works. I'll just do the same as eevee did, only with a bit less commentary (this is a Gist after all!)

I hope that this will show you that PHP and Python are really similar to work with. Also this should show that just because you're using PHP, doesn't mean that you write dirty code. The similarity in the process and code is really incredible :)
