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.
Resource Types
This extension defines a Hashing Context resource returned by hash_init().
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.
