根据发布变量编码SHA-1字符串

Question

I'm trying to find a service that will allow me to POST to that will return an SHA-1 encoded string based off of the variables that I pass to it.

I haven't been able to find one so I've thought about writing my own PHP solution.

If I end up going this route, is there a specific best practice in PHP for creating SHA-1 stings?

Answer 1

Here is an example from the php manual

$str = 'apple';

if (sha1($str) === 'd0be2dc421be4fcd0172e5afceea3970e2f3d940') {
    echo "Would you like a green or red apple?";
}

Answer 2

Use sha1() :

sha1 — Calculate the sha1 hash of a string

An example:

<?php
$str = 'apple';

if (sha1($str) === 'd0be2dc421be4fcd0172e5afceea3970e2f3d940') {
    echo "Would you like a green or red apple?";
}
?>

(source: sha1() documentation )

Hope this helps.
