I think this is one of those situations where hash extension would need to be
compiled as part of "core php" for this feature to work.

It does work when compiling in both hash and session modules into the main PHP
executable (by use of --enable-hash and --enable-session on the configure line).
The FreeBSD Ports strategy is to provide a slim PHP base package with a lot of
extra modules as extra packages to choose. Fine of course, but apparently the
has_function option breaks when one of the relevant modules are externally
loaded.
I found this out because I also run a Gentoo machine where this bug does not
manifest itself, and there the package strategy is to compile everything into
one big PHP executable.
So a quick temporary workaround for FreeBSD users is adding both --enable-hash
and --enable-session in the FreeBSD port Makefile for lang/php5 (and disable
the
external modules to prevent 'already loaded' warnings).
To summarize:
Steps to reproduce:
-------------------
Use either hash or session modules as external loadable module, setting reverts
to 0 when choosing a hash algo.
Workaround:
-----------
Compile both hash and session modules into the main PHP executable.

I have the hash extension enabled.
Doing print_r(hash_algos()) gives a fair few hashes. I'm using hash('SHA512',
$foo) for encrypting passwords so it defiantly is available to PHP.

Do you have the hash extension enabled? Without that extension, hashing
algorithms
other than md5/sha1 will not be available.

I face the same problem on PHP 5.2.5 (x64) on my local installation Windows
Vista 64bit.
