hash_pbkdf2
(PHP 5 >= 5.5.0, PHP 7)
hash_pbkdf2 — Generate a PBKDF2 key derivation of a supplied password
Description
$algo
, string $password
, string $salt
, int $iterations
[, int $length = 0
[, bool $raw_output = FALSE
]] ) : stringParameters
-
algo -
Name of selected hashing algorithm (i.e. md5, sha256, haval160,4, etc..) See hash_algos() for a list of supported algorithms.
-
password -
The password to use for the derivation.
-
salt -
The salt to use for the derivation. This value should be generated randomly.
-
iterations -
The number of internal iterations to perform for the derivation.
-
length -
The length of the output string. If
raw_outputisTRUEthis corresponds to the byte-length of the derived key, ifraw_outputisFALSEthis corresponds to twice the byte-length of the derived key (as every byte of the key is returned as two hexits).If 0 is passed, the entire output of the supplied algorithm is used.
-
raw_output -
When set to
TRUE, outputs raw binary data.FALSEoutputs lowercase hexits.
Return Values
Returns a string containing the derived key as lowercase hexits unless
raw_output is set to TRUE in which case the raw
binary representation of the derived key is returned.
Errors/Exceptions
An E_WARNING will be raised if the algorithm is
unknown, the iterations parameter is less than or
equal to 0, the length is less
than 0 or the salt is too long
(greater than INT_MAX - 4).
Changelog
| Version | Description |
|---|---|
| 7.2.0 | Usage of non-cryptographic hash functions (adler32, crc32, crc32b, fnv132, fnv1a32, fnv164, fnv1a64, joaat) was disabled. |
Examples
Example #1 hash_pbkdf2() example, basic usage
<?php
$password = "password";
$iterations = 1000;
// Generate a random IV using openssl_random_pseudo_bytes()
// random_bytes() or another suitable source of randomness
$salt = openssl_random_pseudo_bytes(16);
$hash = hash_pbkdf2("sha256", $password, $salt, $iterations, 20);
echo $hash;
?>
The above example will output something similar to:

Notes
The PBKDF2 method can be used for hashing passwords for storage. However, it
should be noted that password_hash() or
crypt() with CRYPT_BLOWFISH are
better suited for password storage.
