Does PHP hash () support WHIRLPOOL support?

Question

Is the PHP WHIRLPOOL hash function supported by default? I think so, but I wanted to ask, to be sure.

Answer 1

Yes, hash() in PHP should support Whirlpool by default. Try calling:

 print_r(hash_algos()); 

to see a list of supported hashing methods.

Answer 2

Yes. And your code might look something like this:

 $myHash = hash( 'whirlpool', $salt . $password );
