I also forget to return hexdigest from one case. :) So the correct example is: <?php use Crypto\Hash; // 1. just creating Hash object $hash = new Hash('sha256'); $hash = Hash::sha256(); // 2. creating object and updating context $hash = (new Hash('sha256'))->update($message); // PHP 5.4+ $hash = Hash::sha256($message); $hash = Hash::sha256()->update($message); // 3. crating object, updating context and returning hex digest string $digest = (new Hash('sha256'))->update($message)->hexdigest(); // PHP 5.4+ $digest = Hash::sha256($message)->hexdigest(); $digest = Hash::sha256()->update($message)->hexdigest(); ?> Thanks Jakub
