Using php and doveadm to create password

I've created an registration page in php with an mysql backend. If the user is entering his new password it should become SHA512-CRYPT via doveadm.

This is what I have now,

$password=hash('sha256', $pass);

But I want to create a password hash with doveadm because of my mail server:

$password=(/usr/bin/doveadm pw -s SHA512-CRYPT -p "$pass")

But it doesn't seem to work, how can i implement this "doveadm" command in php?

Solution

  • You must call it with shell_exec method:

    $password = shell_exec('/usr/bin/doveadm pw -s SHA512-CRYPT -p '. $pass);
