<?php

include("chilkat.php");

$success = false;

$crypt = new CkCrypt2();

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

// Do HMAC using SHA-256.
$crypt->put_MacAlgorithm('hmac');
$crypt->put_HashAlgorithm('sha256');

$keyHex = '000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F';
$success = $crypt->SetMacKeyEncoded($keyHex,'hex');

$inputStr = 'This is a test.';

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
// The MacString method is deprecated:

$outData = new CkByteData();

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

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

$crypt->put_EncodingMode('base64');
$mac_base64 = $crypt->macStringENC($inputStr);

print $mac_base64 . "\n";
