Req #80221 [Opn->Sus]: Object-oriented interface for HashContext

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=80221&edit=1 ID: 80221 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: divinity76 at gmail dot com Summary: Object-oriented interface for HashContext -Status: Open +Status: Suspended Type: Feature/Change Request Package: hash related PHP Version: Next Minor Version Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: That makes sense, but the details need to be discussed (and the feature may require an RFC[1]), and this bug tracker isn't really suitable for that kind of discussion. Therefore please forward that request to the internals mailing list[2]. For the time being, I'm suspending this ticket.

(the same way mysqli_query() & co has both a procedural and object-oriented api) for example, the current way to hash $str1 and $str2 is: $hc = hash_init("SHA1"); hash_update($hc, $str1); hash_update($hc, $str2); $result = hash_final($hc); (i've omitted error-checking for brevity) but if we had an OO interface, it could also be written as: $result = (new HashContext("SHA1"))->update($str1)->update($str2)->final(); some people would prefer that. something like this: https://3v4l.org/lXd3u Test script: --------------- <?php $str1 = "foo"; $str2 = "bar"; $result = (new HashContext("SHA1"))->update($str1)->update($str2)->final(); echo $result; Expected result: ---------------- 8843d7f92416211de9ebb963ff4ce28125932878 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=80221&edit=1
