Sent this to Thomas yesterday; really should share it:

--- crypt[.php] ---
#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
function display_help()
{
    global $argv;

    echo  $argv[0], " <password>\n";
    echo  "Encrypts password using crypt.\n\n";
}
if (count($argv) != 2)  { display_help(); exit; }
echo crypt($argv[1], "salt"), "\n";
?>
