hash
(PHP 5 >= 5.1.2, PHP 7, PECL hash >= 1.1)
hash — Generate a hash value (message digest)
Description
$algo
, string $data
[, bool $raw_output
= FALSE
] ) : stringParameters
-
algo
-
Name of selected hashing algorithm (e.g. "md5", "sha256", "haval160,4", etc..)
-
data
-
Message to be hashed.
-
raw_output
-
When set to
TRUE
, outputs raw binary data.FALSE
outputs lowercase hexits.
Return Values
Returns a string containing the calculated message digest as lowercase hexits
unless raw_output
is set to true in which case the raw
binary representation of the message digest is returned.

5.4.0 | The tiger algorithm now uses big-endian byte ordering. See also example below. |
Examples
Example #1 A hash() example
<?php
echo hash('ripemd160', 'The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.');
?>
The above example will output:
ec457d0a974c48d5685a7efa03d137dc8bbde7e3
Example #2 Calculate pre PHP-5.4 tiger hashes with PHP-5.4 and higher
<?php
function old_tiger($data = "", $width=192, $rounds = 3) {
return substr(
implode(
array_map(
function ($h) {
return str_pad(bin2hex(strrev($h)), 16, "0");
},
str_split(hash("tiger192,$rounds", $data, true), 8)
)
),
0, 48-(192-$width)/4
);
}
echo hash('tiger192,3', 'a-string'), PHP_EOL;
echo old_tiger('a-string'), PHP_EOL;
?>
Output of the above example in PHP 5.3:
146a7492719b3564094efe7abbd40a7416fd900179d02773 64359b7192746a14740ad4bb7afe4e097327d0790190fd16
Output of the above example in PHP 5.4:
