In PHP, how do I hash strings with SPL?

In PHP, you can hash a string using the SPL library by utilizing the built-in hash() function. This function requires two parameters: the hashing algorithm you'd like to use and the string you wish to hash.

Here is an example of how to hash a string in PHP:


        <?php
        // Example string to hash
        $string = "Hello, World!";
        
        // Hash the string using SHA-256 algorithm
        $hashedString = hash('sha256', $string);
        
        echo "Original String: " . $string . "<br>";
        echo "Hashed String: " . $hashedString;
        ?>
