Just want to use PHPass in Codeigniter to hash the password. I downloaded the zip file from phpass website, extracted the content, and copied the PasswordHash.php file into my libraries folder.
Then I loaded that library in my controller and tried to hash password but it gave following errors
Missing argument 1 for PasswordHash::PasswordHash(), called in ...
Missing argument 2 for PasswordHash::PasswordHash(), called in ...
Undefined variable: iteration_count_log2 ...
Undefined variable: portable_hashes ...
Please check my controller code below and help me to find the mistake:
$this->load->library('PasswordHash');
$password = $this->input->post('password');
$hash = $this->passwordhash->HashPassword( $password );
Here's how i do it. first create it as a helper.

# Portable PHP password hashing framework.

# Version 0.3 / genuine.
#
# Written by Solar Designer <solar at openwall.com> in 2004-2006 and placed in
# the public domain. Revised in subsequent years, still public domain.

# There's absolutely no warranty.

# The homepage URL for this framework is:

# Please be sure to update the Version line if you edit this file in any way.
# It is suggested that you leave the main version number intact, but indicate
# your project name (after the slash) and add your own revision information.
#
# Please do not change the "private" password hashing method implemented in
# here, thereby making your hashes incompatible. However, if you must, please
# change the hash type identifier (the "$P$") to something different.
#
# Obviously, since this code is in the public domain, the above are not
# requirements (there can be none), but merely suggestions.

to use the phpass helper, load the helper, instantiate it, call HashPassword function:
$this->load->helper('phpass');
$hasher = new PasswordHash(PHPASS_HASH_STRENGTH, PHPASS_HASH_PORTABLE);
$hash_password = $hasher->HashPassword($password);
in config/constants.php add the following code:
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

|
*/
define('PHPASS_HASH_STRENGTH', 8);
define('PHPASS_HASH_PORTABLE', FALSE);
You should also now understand why you getting the error about missing argument 1 and 2. When you instantiate the PasswordHash class you need to supply two arguments to it. You can create phpass as a CodeIgniter Library file too. Just change the function PasswordHash to __constructor and when calling the library supply two arguments. i'll leave you to figure that out.
