LI. hash Functions

Introduction

Message Digest (hash) engine. Allows direct or incremental processing of arbitrary length messages using a variety of hashing algorithms.

Requirements

The Hash extension requires no external libraries and is enabled by default as of PHP 5.1.2. It may be explicitly disabled by using the --disable-hash switch to configure. Earlier versions of PHP may incorporate the Hash extension by installing the PECL module.

Predefined Constants

The constants below are defined by this extension, and will only be available when the extension has either been compiled into PHP or dynamically loaded at runtime.

HASH_HMAC (integer)

Optional flag for hash_init(). Indicates that the HMAC digest-keying algorithm should be applied to the current hashing context.
