hashdigest
==========

[](#hashdigest)

A PHP Hash Generator and Verifier

This is a wrapper on the PHP function HASH for generating hash digests using sha256 algorithm and also verifying a given hash againist given data.

Installation
============

[](#installation)

### Requirements

[](#requirements)

PHP v>=5.1.2+ ### With Composer

[](#with-composer)

The easiest way to install Carbon is via composer. Create the following `composer.json` file and run the php composer.phar install command to install it. ```json "require": { "edwinmugendi/hashdigest": "master" } ``` ### Without Composer

[](#without-composer)

Why not use [composer](http://getcomposer.org/)? Anyway, Download [Digester.php](https://github.com/edwinmugendi/hashdigest/blob/master/src/HashDigest/Digester.php) from the repo and save the file somewhere in your project.

```php use HashDigest\\Digester;$dataToHash = array( 'name'=>'Ali', 'age'=>'12', 'city'=>'Nairobi', 'work'=>'Software Engineer', 'at'=>'Sapama.com' );

$hash = Digester::digest($dataToHash);

echo 'Generated Hash is '; echo "\\n"; echo $hash; echo "\\n"; $isValid = Digester::isHashValid($hash, $dataToHash);

echo "Hash is ". ($isValid ? 'valid': 'not valid');

```
Algorithm
Hash generation
The hash is generated by:

1. The ```digest($dataToHash, $algo = 'sha256', $raw_output = false, $separator = '.')``` function takes a string or array as parameter of data to be hashed eg;

```php
