hash — Generate a hash value (message digest)
$algo
,$data
,$binary
= false
,$options
= []
algo
Name of selected hashing algorithm (i.e. "md5", "sha256", "haval160,4", etc..). For a list of supported algorithms see hash_algos().
data
Message to be hashed.
binary
When set to true
, outputs raw binary data.
false
outputs lowercase hexits.
options
An array of options for the various hashing algorithms. Currently, only the "seed" parameter is supported by the MurmurHash variants.
Returns a string containing the calculated message digest as lowercase hexits
unless binary
is set to true in which case the raw
binary representation of the message digest is returned.
