As I understand password verify a salt is encrypted and added to the database, then it is added to the password so that a different hash is generated.

Does password_verify automatically generate a salt in conjunction with password_hash?

How is the salt consistent (so that the correct salt is used when the password is verified) but different (so that it doesn't defeat the purpose of a salt)?

Does password_verify automatically detect the salt?

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.
