About
-----

[](#about)

A simple hash generator that makes it easy to get a hash for any text.

From [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_function):

> A hash function is any function that can be used to map data of arbitrary size to fixed-size values. The values returned by a hash function are called hash values, hash codes, digests, or simply hashes. The values are used to index a fixed-size table called a hash table. Use of a hash function to index a hash table is called hashing or scatter storage addressing.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

The preferred method of installation is via [Packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/nechin/smart-hash) and [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/). Run the following command to install the package and add it as a requirement to your project's `composer.json`:

```
composer require nechin/smart-hash
```

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

PHP 5.4.0

Examples
--------

[](#examples)

If no length is specified, the *ripemd128* algorithm is used, which will generate a string of 32 hexadecimal digits.

The following hash lengths are available: 8, 16, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 80, 96, 128. For each length is used its own optimal algorithm.

It is possible to specify the desired algorithm as the third parameter. Then the second parameter should be false.
