password_hash returns different value every time

by

So let’s take it one part at a time

but it returns a different hash every time

That’s the idea. password_hash is designed to generate a random salt every time. This means you have to break each hash individually instead of guessing one salt used for everything and having a huge leg up.

There’s no need to MD5 or do any other hashing. If you want to raise the security of password_hash you pass a higher cost (default cost is 10)

$password = password_hash($password4, PASSWORD_DEFAULT, ['cost' => 15]);

As to verify

if(password_verify($password4, $dbpassword))

So $password4 should be your unhashed password and $dbpassword should be the hash you’ve stored in your database
