note 74403 added to function.hash

The speed difference (as noted in a below posting) between md5() and hash() goes down to zero with strings longer than just a few bytes. With a string length of 1kB the difference is 10% advantage for hash() and shrinks further down to 3% with 10kB strings. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 82.240.156.91 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.hash.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/74403 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74403/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74403/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74403/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74403/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74403/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74403/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74403 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/74403 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
