Yet another PHP Framework::Phalcon

Good news for those looking at a framework with speed.To be sincere, am tired of all these framweork of a thing, because i just downloaded Zend and now seeing Phalcon.
 Benchmark was perform on several framweworks to test for the following:
  • Requests per second
  • Time across all concurrent requests
  • Number of included PHP files on a single request (measured using function get_included_files.
  • Memory Usage per request (measured using function memory_get_usage.

Pariticipant Frameworks

   
 My conclusion is that most framework are have advance in speed, and performance unlike their older version outlined above.
You can learn more about the framework @ http://phalconphp.com/en/

SOLVED: PHPass login issue with checkPassword

Hello, recently i wented to make my web application password more secure, so i went online to read more about password security. I discovered that md5 function which most developers still use for securing their password is outdated due to the more effiecient GPU machines out there that can crack md5() within seconds.
So on my research process, i stubble on an article that gives me more insight as to why md5 is old fashioned and bscript is better. I will be writing on bscript soon.

Today topic is on the major challenge developers face with phpass(a password framework that uses bscript).
After creating my hashed password, i inserted into the database column. Then i wanted to login to the web application, and can't login due to the checkPassword($loginpassword,$storedPassword) method return false.
As a matter of fact this took me the second day to figure out the cause of this issue after brain storming the internet for solution, which i couldn't find.
The problem was caused by the character length of the hashed password which is 61 rather than 60 characters. So after doing the password hashing over and over again to ensure that the hash password is 60 characters. Inserted it to my database table column, deleting the previous one there.
This time i was able to log in and out as i wish.

So, what i simply saying is that the hashed password should be 60 characters and not less or more.

Thank you for reading.
