PHP-xxHash

A PHP extension to add support for the xxHash fast hashing algorithm.

xxHash is an Extremely fast Hash algorithm, running at RAM speed limits. It successfully completes the SMHasher test suite which evaluates collision, dispersion and randomness qualities of hash functions.

PHP7 Compatability

Please note at the moment the master branch should be used for PHP 5.x and develop branch should be used for PHP 7.x

Installation Instructions

   phpize
   ./configure --enable-xxhash
   make
   sudo make install

Don't forget to load the extension in via php.ini or the like.

To use with docker compose

RUN curl -fsSL 'https://github.com/tawkirahmed/php-xxhash/archive/develop.zip' -o xxhash.zip \
    && mkdir -p xxhash \
    && unzip -j xxhash.zip -d xxhash\
    && rm xxhash.zip \
    && ( \
        cd xxhash \
        && phpize \
        && ./configure --enable-xxhash \
        && make -j "$(nproc)" \
        && make install \
    ) \
    && rm -r xxhash \
    && docker-php-ext-enable xxhash

Usage Instructions

Upon installation and enabling the extension within php.ini the following two new functions will be available to you:

long xxhash32(string $data);
long xxhash64(string $data);

In both cases a long number will be returned, representing the digest (hash) of the $data input. Beware that in case of xxhash64 negative number can be returned since php does not support unsigned long.
