-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
I thought some other people would be interested in the other hashes that you can do with mhash that aren't on the php.net docs after the recent news that SHA-1 might be weaker than previously thought:
http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2005/02/sha1_broken.html
The built in constants that the mhash docs have listed are simply integers that tell mhash what to use. So I found the integers in mhash's mhash.h:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/mhash/mhash/lib/mhash.h?rev=1.25&view=auto
The following works for alternate hashes in the Win32 PHP 5.0.3 release of libmhash.h. For anyone wanting a step up from SHA-1, SHA256 works.
David:
You should really post this at the mhash manual entry in php.net. I'm sure others would find it useful. Good find :)
Cheers, Burhan
