<?php

include("chilkat.php");
// Use "chilkat_9_5_0.php" for versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0

$crypt = new CkCrypt2();

$crypt->put_HashAlgorithm('sha256');

$path = 'c:/someDir/example.dat';

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
// The HashBytes method is deprecated:

$inData = new CkByteData();
$inData->loadFile($path);

$outData = new CkByteData();

$success = $crypt->HashBytes($inData,$outData);

// Workaround.
// (Chilkat is moving away from using CkByteData)

$bdIn = new CkBinData();
$bdIn->LoadFile($path);
