The hash_hmac_file() function is an inbuilt function in PHP that is used to generate a keyed hash value using the contents of a given file.
Syntax:
string hash_hmac_file( $algo, $file, $key, $raw_opt )
Parameters: This function accepts four parameters as mentioned above and described below.
- $algo: It is the required parameter that specifies the selected hashing algorithm.
- $file: This parameter is used to specify the file URL to be hashed.
- $key: This parameter is used to hold the shared secret key used for generating the HMAC.
- $raw_opt: If the parameter is set to true then output will be raw binary data and if the parameter is set to False then output will be lowercase exits.
Return Value: This function returns a string containing the calculated message digest as lowercase exits. The below programs use the file gfg.txt and the contents of the file are:

Program 2:
php
<?php// PHP program to illustrate// hash_hmac_file function// Create a file to calculate hash offile_put_contents('gfg.txt', 'Geeks');// Display resultecho hash_hmac_file('sha256', 'gfg.txt', 'password') . "</br>";// Create a file to calculate hash offile_put_contents('gfg.txt', 'Content');// Display resultecho hash_hmac_file('md5', 'gfg.txt', 'password', false);?> |
