[Rails] de-crypting Ruby password with php.

Hello all, I have a client with an older Rails 1.8 app (was recently
upgraded from 1.6) and I need to integrate a php site to use the same
user login creds.

I'm not very versed with Ruby but I think this is the code that
encrypts the password.

[code]
# Encrypts some data with the salt.
def self.encrypt(password, salt)
Digest::SHA1.hexdigest("--#{salt}--#{password}--")
end

# Encrypts the password with the user salt
def encrypt(password)
self.class.encrypt(password, salt)
end[/code]

So.... I have full db access so I have the encrypted passwords and
their associated salts. And I need a php script to verify users. Is
there as way for me to un-encrypt this password via php and the
database that Ruby is using?

Thanks in advance for any guidance or assistance you may be able to
provide.
