other mhash hashes

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I thought some other people would be interested in the other hashes that you can do with mhash that aren't on the php.net docs after the recent news that SHA-1 might be weaker than previously thought: http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2005/02/sha1_broken.html The built in constants that the mhash docs have listed are simply integers that tell mhash what to use. So I found the integers in mhash's mhash.h: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/mhash/mhash/lib/mhash.h?rev=1.25&view=auto The following works for alternate hashes in the Win32 PHP 5.0.3 release of libmhash.h. For anyone wanting a step up from SHA-1, SHA256 works. $hashes = array('CRC32' => 0,

~      'CRC32B' => 9,
~      'ADLER32' => 18,
~      'MD4' => 16,
~      'MD5' => 1,
~      'RIPEMD160' => 5,
~      'SHA1' => 2,
~      'SHA256' => 17,
~      'HAVAL128' => 13,
~      'HAVAL160' => 12,
~      'HAVAL192' => 11,
~      'HAVAL224' => 10,
~      'HAVAL256' => 3,
~      'TIGER128' => 14,
~      'TIGER160' => 15,
~      'TIGER192' => 7,
~      'GOST' => 8);

foreach($hashes as $name => $number) {

~    echo '<br />';
~    echo $name, ': ', bin2hex(mhash($number, 'this is a test'));

} or as PHP constants: $hashes = array('CRC32' => MHASH_CRC32,

~      'CRC32B' => MHASH_CRC32B,
~      'ADLER32' => MHASH_ADLER32,
~      'MD4' => MHASH_MD4,
~      'MD5' => MHASH_MD5,
~      'RIPEMD160' => MHASH_RIPEMD160,
~      'SHA1' => MHASH_SHA1,
~      'SHA256' => MHASH_SHA256,
~      'HAVAL128' => MHASH_HAVAL128,
~      'HAVAL160' => MHASH_HAVAL160,
~      'HAVAL192' => MHASH_HAVAL192,
~      'HAVAL224' => MHASH_HAVAL224,
~      'HAVAL256' => MHASH_HAVAL256,
~      'TIGER128' => MHASH_TIGER128,
~      'TIGER160' => MHASH_TIGER160,
~      'TIGER192' => MHASH_HAVAL192,
~      'GOST' => MHASH_GOST);

foreach($hashes as $name => $number) {

~    echo '<br />';
~    echo $name, ': ', bin2hex(mhash($number, 'this is a test'));

} I suspect if you were able to compile a more recent version of mhash, the following complete list of mhash's hashes would work, including SHA512 and WHIRLPOOL. $hashes = array('CRC32' => 0,

~      'CRC32B' => 9,
~      'ADLER32' => 18,
~      'MD2' => 27,
~      'MD4' => 16,
~      'MD5' => 1,
~      'RIPEMD160' => 5,
~      'RIPEMD128' => 22,
~      'RIPEMD256' => 23,
~      'RIPEMD320' => 24,
~      'SHA1' => 2,
~      'SHA224' => 19,
~      'SHA256' => 17,
~      'SHA384' => 21,
~      'SHA512' => 20,
~      'HAVAL128' => 13,
~      'HAVAL160' => 12,
~      'HAVAL192' => 11,
~      'HAVAL224' => 10,
~      'HAVAL256' => 3,
~      'TIGER128' => 14,
~      'TIGER160' => 15,
~      'TIGER192' => 7,
~      'GOST' => 8,
~      'WHIRLPOOL' => 21,
~      'SNEFRU128' => 25,
~      'SNEFRU256' => 26);

foreach($hashes as $name => $number) {

~    echo '<br />';
~    echo $name, ': ', bin2hex(mhash($number, 'this is a test'));
