Parameters ¶ ¶

data
The data.

method
The digest method.

raw_output
Setting to TRUE will return as raw output data, otherwise the return value is binhex encoded.

The second argument should be one of the values returned by openssl_get_md_methods() rather than hash_algos(). ‘Hash’ and ‘OpenSSL’ are independent extensions and support different selection of digest algorithms. Notably, Hash supports some non-cryptographic hashes like adler or crc.

Example:
// $fileBuffer is buffer of file in open mode or a generic stream...
$fingerPrint = openssl_digest ($fileBuffer , "sha512");

$method parameter is one of hash_algos() array;

"; <br>  var_dump(hash_algos()); <br>  echo ""
?>

Output:
