hash_hmac

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

hash_hmacGenerate 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_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.

Examples
