SHA-512 library for PHP

Question

I am searching for any crypto library that provides SHA-512 hash. Googling around I found some but SHA-512 is absent.

Please suggest.

Answer 1

In PHP 5 >= 5.1.2, PECL hash >= 1.1:

hash('sha512', someStr);

See hash() for more information.
To see all hash algorithms available to you, try:

print_r(hash_algos());
