(with a list including SHA1). It also states it's possible this documentation is outdated (which I didn't verify). SHA1 is as easy as writing: $sha1 = mhash(MHASH_SHA1, "yoursecretdata"); And I never used it before or any mhash() function so it's not really hard to achive this. mhash is available for nearly every distribution as a package and even if not, it's not hard to install. I can see a possible point with a dedicated sha1() function, but I don't see one in saying that mhash() is badly documented (even if it was, it's very easy to find the right information within seconds). The later case would vindicate a documentation report. - Markus -- Please always Cc to me when replying to me on the lists. GnuPG Key: http://guru.josefine.at/~mfischer/C2272BD0.asc
