hash_init — Initialize an incremental hashing context
$algo
[, int $options = 0
[, string $key = NULL
]] )
algoName of selected hashing algorithm (i.e. "md5", "sha256", "haval160,4", etc..). For a list of supported algorithms see hash_algos().
options
Optional settings for hash generation, currently supports only one option:
HASH_HMAC. When specified, the key
must be specified.
key
When HASH_HMAC is specified for options,
a shared secret key to be used with the HMAC hashing method must be supplied in this
parameter.
Returns a Hashing Context resource for use with hash_update(), hash_update_stream(), hash_update_file(), and hash_final().
Exemplo #1 Incremental hashing example
<?php
$ctx = hash_init('md5');
hash_update($ctx, 'The quick brown fox ');
hash_update($ctx, 'jumped over the lazy dog.');
echo hash_final($ctx);
?>
