PHP hash_hmac

PHP original manual for hash_hmac [ show | php.net ]

hash_hmac

(PHP 5 >= 5.1.2, PHP 7, PECL hash >= 1.1)

hash_hmac — Generate a keyed hash value using the HMAC method

Description

string hash_hmac ( string $algo , string $data , string $key [, bool $raw_output = FALSE ] )

Parameters

algo

Name of selected hashing algorithm (i.e. "md5", "sha256", "haval160,4", etc..) See hash_hmac_algos() for a list of supported algorithms.

data

Message to be hashed.

key

Shared secret key used for generating the HMAC variant of the message digest.

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. Returns FALSE when algo is unknown or is a non-cryptographic hash function.

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_hmac() example

<?php
echo hash_hmac('ripemd160', 'The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.', 'secret');
?>

The above example will output:
