Mhash been obsoleted by the hash extension, and HipHop has the hash extension (looking at the src). I think mhash is implemented as a wrapper onto the hash extension for a while. (http://svn.php.net/viewvc?view=revision&revision=269961) assert(hash('adler32', 'foo', true) === mhash(MHASH_ADLER32, 'foo')); Jared _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
