Encrypt Password in Android and verify it wit PHP / Yii -

i use yii framework in php, , encrypt password in database, use :

$pass = cpasswordhelper::hashpassword ($this->newpassword);

to verify password match, use :

    if (!cpasswordhelper::verifypassword($this->currentpassword,$this->_user->passwd)) { ...     }
