sha1

SHA1(3) 								 1								   SHA1(3)

sha1 - Calculate the sha1 hash of a string

SYNOPSIS

       string sha1 (string  $str, [bool  $raw_output = false])

DESCRIPTION

	Calculates the sha1 hash of $str using the US Secure Hash Algorithm 1.

PARAMETERS

	      o $str
		- The input string.

	      o $raw_output
		-  If  the optional $raw_output is set to TRUE, then the sha1 digest is instead returned in raw binary format with a length of 20,
		otherwise the returned value is a 40-character hexadecimal number.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns the sha1 hash as a string.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      A sha1(3) example

	      <?php
	      $str = 'apple';

	      if (sha1($str) === 'd0be2dc421be4fcd0172e5afceea3970e2f3d940') {
		  echo "Would you like a green or red apple?";
	      }
	      ?>

NOTES

       Note

	      Secure password hashing

	       It is not recommended to use this function to secure passwords, due to the fast nature of this  hashing	algorithm.  See  here  for
	      details.
