password_verify() : Matching Password hash

$str="plus2net.com";
$str_hash=password_hash($str,PASSWORD_DEFAULT);
//echo $str_hash;

if(password_verify($str,$str_hash)){
echo " Matching  ";
}else{
echo " Not matching ";
}	

Matching

password_verify('$entered_string',$hash_string);

crypt() and password_ferify()

$str="plus2net.com";
$str_crypt_hash = crypt($str);
///////////
if(password_verify('plus2net.com',$str_crypt_hash)){
echo " Matching  ";
}else{
echo " Not matching ";
}

Matching

Example: Verifying a Correct Password

$password = "secure123";
$hash = password_hash($password, PASSWORD_DEFAULT);
if (password_verify("secure123", $hash)) {
    echo "Password is correct!";
} else {
    echo "Password is incorrect!";
}

Example: Verifying an Incorrect Password

$password = "secure123";
$hash = password_hash($password, PASSWORD_DEFAULT);
if (password_verify("wrong_password", $hash)) {
    echo "Password is correct!";
} else {
    echo "Password is incorrect!";
}

Example: Checking if the Hash Needs Rehashing

$hash = password_hash("mypassword", PASSWORD_DEFAULT);
if (password_verify("mypassword", $hash)) {
    if (password_needs_rehash($hash, PASSWORD_DEFAULT)) {
        $newHash = password_hash("mypassword", PASSWORD_DEFAULT);
        echo "Password rehashed!";
    }
}
