Generate a password hash

Hello all!

I'd like to know how does Zen Cart generate the password hashes that are stored for every user in the 'customers' table in the database. I tried a simple MD5 hash of the password, but that doesn't quite seem to work.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Generate a password hash

  function zen_encrypt_password($plain) {
    $password = '';

    for ($i=0; $i<10; $i++) {
      $password .= zen_rand();
    }

    $salt = substr(md5($password), 0, 2);

    $password = md5($salt . $plain) . ':' . $salt;

    return $password;
  }
