I don't know C or PHP. But since it's important, and because you said 
please, let me try:


def calc_passcode(password):
    magic1 = 0x50305735
    magic2 = 0x12345671
    sum = 7
    for i in range(len(password)):
        z = ord(password[i])
        if z == 32 or z == 9:
            continue
        magic1 = magic1 ^ ((((magic1 & 0x3f) + sum) * z) + (magic1 << 8))
        magic2 = magic2 + ((magic2 << 8) ^ magic1)
        sum += z
        magic1 = magic1 & 0x7fffffff
        magic2 = magic2 & 0x7fffffff
    return '%08x%08x' % (magic1, magic2)
