使用PHP MySQL Blowfish进行站点登录

Question

I am having a serious issue with trying to validate my password when logging into my site. I am using php to create a blowfish encrypted password with salt using the code below.

<?php
function cryptPass($p, $rounds = 9) {
$salt = "";
$saltChars = array_merge(range('A','Z'),range('a','z'),range('0','9'));
for($i = 0; $i < 22; $i++){
    $salt .= $saltChars[array_rand($saltChars)];    
}
return crypt($p, sprintf('$2y$%02d$', $rounds) . $salt);
}
?>

This works fine and the crypted password is put into my mysql database. the problem is on login it will not validate. this is the login script.

if(isset($_POST["u"])){
 // CONNECT TO THE DATABASE
 include_once("php_includes/db_connect.php");
 // GATHER THE POSTED DATA INTO LOCAL VARIABLES AND SANITIZE
 $u = mysqli_real_escape_string($db_connect, $_POST['u']);
 include_once("php_includes/hasher.php");
 $p = (cryptPass($_POST['p']));
 // GET USER IP ADDRESS
$ip = preg_replace('#[^0-9.]#', '', getenv('REMOTE_ADDR'));
 // FORM DATA ERROR HANDLING
 if($u == "" || $p == ""){
     echo "login_failed";
    exit();
 } else {
 // END FORM DATA ERROR HANDLING
     $sql = "SELECT id, username, password FROM users WHERE username='$u' AND activated='1' LIMIT 1";
    $query = mysqli_query($db_connect, $sql);
    $row = mysqli_fetch_row($query);
     $db_id = $row[0];
     $db_username = $row[1];
    $db_pass_str = $row[2];
     if($p != $db_pass_str){
         echo "login_failed";
        exit();
     } else {
//goto the users account

should I not be running the cryptPass function on the incoming user data?

Also of note would be that the mysql database password column is set up as VARCHAR(255) so its got plenty of room. At this point the password crypts right, I am just not able to compare it to the one in database properly. This is my first real try with blowfish pieced together from tutorials all over, I wanted to get away from md5 as php.net advises. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for reading this.

Here's a slightly more in-depth demonstration as what's found on the PHP crypt() man page:

// Only for demonstration, see mcrypt_create_iv() for a better salt:
//   http://php.net/manual/en/function.mcrypt-create-iv.php
$salt = substr(sha1(date('r')), rand(0, 17), 22);
$cost = 10;
$hash = '$2y$' . $cost . '$' . $salt;
$pass = 'mypass';
$notpass = 'notmypass';

$hashed = crypt($pass, "$hash");

echo "
Hash:
$hash

Hashed:
$hashed

Verified: 
" . crypt($pass, $hashed) . "

Not Verified: 
" . crypt($notpass, $hashed);

https://ignite.io/code/51323c3aec221e7b73000000

Which gives (at least this time):

Hash:
$2y$10$a80ded6289240c2e41a5e4

Hashed:
$2y$10$a80ded6289240c2e41a5euUFPvmt.sb6lBwOE.JTAdxQsDWmmM.Me

Verified: 
$2y$10$a80ded6289240c2e41a5euUFPvmt.sb6lBwOE.JTAdxQsDWmmM.Me

Not Verified: 
$2y$10$a80ded6289240c2e41a5euj06Emi8HigWM6BpqVFZ.ZtpA9wK5c8G
