Fastest hash for non-cryptographic uses?

Question

I\'m essentially preparing phrases to be put into the database, they may be malformed so I want to store a short hash of them instead (I will be simply comparing if they exi

Answer 1

Ranked list where each loop shares the same thing to crypt as all the others.

 $time) {
    print $i.' - '.$alg.' '.$time.'
';
    $i++;
}

echo "Entire page took ".endTime($begin).' seconds
';

echo "

";

foreach($scores as $alg => $time) {
    print $i.' - '.$alg.' '.hash($alg,$string).'
';
    $i++;
}

function startTime() {
   $mtime = microtime(); 
   $mtime = explode(" ",$mtime); 
   $mtime = $mtime[1] + $mtime[0]; 
   return $mtime;   
}

function endTime($starttime) {
   $mtime = microtime(); 
   $mtime = explode(" ",$mtime); 
   $mtime = $mtime[1] + $mtime[0]; 
   $endtime = $mtime; 
   return $totaltime = ($endtime - $starttime); 
}

function randomString($length) {
    $characters = '0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz';
    $string = '';    
    for ($p = 0; $p < $length; $p++) {
        $string .= $characters[mt_rand(0, strlen($characters) - 1)];
    }
    return $string;
}

?>
