(PHP 5 >= 5.1.2, 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_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
