Re: md5 sum integrity check for downloaded PHP tarball?

Hi, Thanks for the answer, but unfortunately this is not what I was looking for, probably because my question made it a little obscure what information I was looking for. I am looking for an md5 sum or something that I can use to check a downloaded PHP tarball with. With most sites, say the kernel archives for example, publich an md5 sum next to the tarball. One downloads both the tarball and md5 sum and checks if the md5 sum of the tarball matches the one in the md5 file. If they don't match, alarms ring. So, where on the PHP site do I find such an md5 sum that I can use to check the integrity of a downloaded PHP tarball?
