I am looking for PHP functions that implement passwords that much the dovecotpw implementation.

I downloaded one from PEAR, Crypt_HMAC, but the passwords it generates look nothing like the dovecotpw passwords, which could be my fault because I know nothing about the field.

All libraries/utilities I know generate an HMAC-MD5 string (32bytes). Dovecot uses HMAC-MD5-CONTEXTs (64bytes) for CRAM-MD5 authentication.

Here's a chunck of code that might be useful.

<?php

if ($_POST["checkpass"]) {

$login = $_POST["username"];
$passwd = $_POST["password"];
$newpass = $_POST["newpassword"];
$newpass2 = $_POST["newpassword2"];
list ($user, $domain) = explode('@', $login);
$pass_file = "/etc/vmail/shadow.".$domain;

// Sanity Checks

if ($login == "")
{
	$badInput = 1;
}

if (!$badInput and ($user == "" or $domain == ""))
{
	echo "<b><font color='red'>Error: Bad Email Address</b></font><br>";
	$badInput = 1;
}

if (!$badInput and ($passwd == "" or $newpass == ""))
{
	echo "<b><font color='red'>Error: Password Missing</b></font><br>";
	$badInput = 1;
}

if (!$badInput and strlen($newpass) < 6)
{
	echo "<b><font color='red'>Error: Password must be at least 6 characters</b></font><br>";
	$badInput = 1;
}

if ($newpass != $newpass2)
{
	echo "<b><font color='red'>Error: New Passwords Don't Match</b></font><br>";
	$badInput = 1;
}

if (!$badInput) {

	$fp = fopen( $pass_file, "r" );
	if ($fp == false)
	{
		echo "<b><font color='red'>Error: Domain ".$domain." Doesn't Exist</b></font><br>";
	} else {

		while ( !feof( $fp ) )
		{
			$line = trim( fgets( $fp, 1000 ) );
			list( $f_user, $f_password, $f_last_password_changed, $two, $three, $four, $five, $six ) = explode( ':', $line );
			if ($f_user == $user)
			{

				$userFound = 1;
				if ( substr($f_password, 0, 1)  == "$" )
				{
					$seed = substr($f_password, 0, 12);
					$epassword = substr($f_password, 12, strlen($f_password));
					$epassword = $seed.$epassword;
					$npassword = crypt($passwd, $seed);
				} else {
					$seed = substr($f_password, 0, 2);
					$epassword = substr($f_password, 2, strlen($f_password));
					$epassword = $seed.$epassword;
					$npassword = crypt($passwd, $seed);
				}

				if ($npassword == $epassword) {
					$success = 1;
				 	for ($n = 0; $n < 9; $n++)
					{
          				$s .= chr(rand(64,126));
       				}
   	   				$seed =  "$1$".$s."$";
					$line = $f_user.":".crypt($_POST["newpassword"], $seed).":".floor(time()/86400).":".$two.":".$three.":".$four.":".$five.":".$six.":";
				} else {
					echo "<b><font color='red'>Error: Wrong Password</b></font><br>";
				}
			}
			if ($line > "")
			{
				$write .= $line."\n";
			}
		}
	}

	fclose($fp);

	if ($success)
	{
		$fp = fopen( $pass_file, "w" );
		fwrite($fp, $write);
		fclose($fp);
		echo "<b><font color='Blue'>Password Change Succeeded</font></b><br>";
	}

	if (!$userFound)
	{
		echo "<b><font color='red'>Error: Invalid Email Address</font></b><br>";
	}
}
