Initialize an incremental hashing context (PHP 5 >= 5.1.2, PECL hash:1.1-1.5)
resource hash_init ( string algo [, int options, string key] )

Parameters

algo: Name of selected hashing algorithm (i.e. "md5", "sha256", "haval160,4", etc..)
options: Optional settings for hash generation, currently supports only one option: HASH_HMAC. When specified, the key must be specified.
key: When HASH_HMAC is specified for options, a shared secret key to be used with the HMAC hashing method must be supplied in this parameter.

Return Values

Returns a Hashing Context resource for use with hash_update(), hash_update_stream(), hash_update_file(), and hash_final().

Examples
