Below programs illustrate the hash_final() function in PHP:
Program 1:
php
<?php // PHP program to illustrate // hash_final function $gfg = hash_init( 'md5' ); hash_update( $gfg , 'neveropen A CS Portal' ); // Print result return by // hash_final function print (hash_final( $gfg )); ?> |

php
<?php // PHP program to illustrate // hash_final function $gfg = hash_init( 'md5' ); hash_update( $gfg , 'neveropen A CS Portal' ); // Print result return by // hash_final function print (hash_final( $gfg , false)); ?> |
