openssl_get_md_methods

Gets available digest methods

Description

array openssl_get_md_methods(bool $aliases = false)

Gets a list of available digest methods.

Parameters

aliases

Set to true if digest aliases should be included within the returned array.

Return Values

An array of available digest methods.

Examples

Example #1 openssl_get_md_methods example

Shows how the available digests might look, and also which aliases might be available. 

<?php
$digests             = openssl_get_md_methods();
$digests_and_aliases = openssl_get_md_methods(true);
$digest_aliases      = array_diff($digests_and_aliases, $digests);

print_r($digests);

print_r($digest_aliases);

?>

The above example will output something similar to:
