Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63250&edit=1 ID: 63250 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: alix dot axel+php at gmail dot com Summary: Alternative to mhash_keygen_s2k()? -Status: Open +Status: Closed Type: Documentation Problem Package: hash related Operating System: Ubuntu 12 / Windows 7 PHP Version: 5.3.17 -Assigned To: +Assigned To: cmb Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: > It is recommended to use the mhash functions to create a key > from a string. This recommendation has been changed in the meantime (see example #1). Furthermore the mcrypt extension has been deprecated and moved to PECL, so this ticket can is obsolete. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-10-09 18:18:09] alix dot axel+php at gmail dot com Changed package from mhash to hash. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-10-09 18:08:48] alix dot axel+php at gmail dot com Description: ------------ The mcrypt_encrypt manual page (http://php.net/manual/en/function.mcrypt- encrypt.php) says that: It is recommended to use the mhash functions to create a key from a string. But the introduction of the mhash manual (http://php.net/manual/en/intro.mhash.php) says that: Note: This extension is obsoleted by Hash. Here (http://php.net/manual/en/migration53.removed-extensions.php) it also stated that: mhash - Discontinued; use the hash extension instead. hash has full mhash compatibility; all existing applications using the old functions will continue to work. ----------------------- The problem is that there's no hash alternative for http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mhash-keygen-s2k.php. I'm filling this as a documentation bug, but I'm not exactly sure if it should be filled in some other category (perhaps feature request?) because at the moment we have no other way to do what mhash_keygen_s2k() used to do. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63250&edit=1
