Laravel 4: Hash::make not returning a proper value

I'm trying to use Hash::make() in my application and I'm having trouble getting it to work. I've been trying to use the documentation on the Laravel 3 site, since I can't find anything on the Laravel 4 documentation on it.

When I try to insert Hash::make($password) into my database, it saves the value as 0. My field is varchar and it has a length of 100, which should be long enough. I've tried inserting into different fields in my database, and it always saves as 0. I tried setting $password to a test string, rather than what's coming from the form and it still saves as 0. If I insert $password without the Hash::make() it stores my password.

I tried echoing Hash::make('test) on my page and I got nothing echoed back. No output at all. I guess that's why I'm inserting 0 into the database when I try to store the value.

Could this be related to the application key that you set with key:generate through Artisan? I discovered I hadn't set that and when I tried to set it, it tells me it is already set? How do I reset the key?

Requirements of Laravel 4

  • PHP >= 5.3.7
  • MCrypt PHP Extension

I suspect you do not have the MCrypt PHP extension enabled. You can run phpinfo() to confirm.
