in reply to code snippet problem

After you find and familiarize yourself with an editor that shows matching parens, you might want to read the documentation on crypt() as well. You are picking your salt from 100 different values. (Those that are composed of digits.) A salt's character can be chosen from the set [./0-9a-zA-Z] which gives a possible 4096 different combinations. Limiting yourself to less than 3% of those is probably not a good idea.

    Thank you so much, and the I see what you mean with the encryption possibilities. As for this program, perhaps I need to go back to the books. Debugging a 900 line program may be biting off more then I should at this point. It came with a book on a cd.. The "companion web site " with updates, is now gone,,hmm,,well,,anyway,, I again thankyou and will continue to plug away at these bugs.
