SHA256 Hash the Bytes Represented in a Hex String

Demonstrates how to compute the SHA256 hash of the bytes represented by a hexidecimal encoded string, and return the hash bytes as an hex encoded string. PHP Extension

<?php

include("chilkat.php");

$success = false;

// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// We wish to compute the SHA256 hash of the bytes 0x6C 0xF8 0xEA 0x51 0xE4 0xE0 0xF5 0x99 0xCF ...
$src = '6CF8EA51E4E0F599CF03EC8D58C3DCBC9C889A77FB2816B40DE25C2EC54E98A67EA517B';

$bd = new CkBinData();
$success = $bd->AppendEncoded($src,'hex');

// The bd now contains the bytes 0x6C 0xF8 0xEA 0x51 0xE4 0xE0 0xF5 0x99 0xCF ...

$crypt = new CkCrypt2();
$crypt->put_HashAlgorithm('sha256');
$crypt->put_EncodingMode('hex');

// Hash the bytes contained in bd, and return the 32-byte SHA256 hash as a hexidecimal encoded string.
$result = $crypt->hashBdENC($bd);
print $result . "\n";
