<?php

include("chilkat.php");

$crypt = new CkCrypt2();

$crypt->put_Charset('utf-8');

$inputStr = 'This is a test.';

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
// The HashString method is deprecated:

$outData = new CkByteData();

$success = $crypt->HashString($inputStr,$outData);

$crypt->put_EncodingMode('base64');
