hello--please help function hash_file ($strFilename) is now broken in

hello there,

hash_file means something new in php5, and it seems to of broken my
code:

function hash_file ($strFilename) {
$n = 0;
for ($posFilename = strlen($strFilename) -1; $posFilename >= 0;
$posFilename-- ) {
$n *= 2;
if ($n & 4096) { $n |= 1; }
$n ^= (ord($strFilename[$posFilename])*11);
$n &= 4095;
}

return sprintf ("%02o/%02o", ($n/64) & 63 , $n&63);
}

For now, the error that I get with the above code is just:


PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare hash_file()

Is there some way to rewrite the above code, or something to
substitute for hash_file? Thanks!

The original coder also wrote this comment with the code:

// Don't even ask me how this works. Apparently it creates a
register for the filenme
// by xoring the characters into a number from right to left. The
top six bits and the
// bottom six bits are returned as the path name. I didn't write it
though, I just
// converted it from a perl function that I found in the pair
Networks private newsgroups.
// - Jason

Thanks for your help!

Er, no. Effective PHP 5.1.2, there is a built-in function
hash_file():

http://www.php.net/hash_file

And you should, as you cannot define a function that already exists.

Why bother? Just use the built-in hash_file() function. To see which
hashing algorithms are supported on your system, call hash_algos():

http://www.php.net/hash_algos

Hello there and thanks,

But I am still at a loss as to what to do.

hash_file served a purpose in the php4 code below, but now it is an
official function in php5, so the below code no longer works. any
help owuld be great!

function hash_file ($strFilename) {
$n =3D 0;
for ($posFilename =3D strlen($strFilename) -1; $posFilename >=3D 0;
$posFilename-- ) {
$n *=3D 2;
if ($n & 4096) { $n |=3D 1; }
$n ^=3D (ord($strFilename[$posFilename])*11);
$n &=3D 4095;
}
return sprintf ("%02o/%02o", ($n/64) & 63 , $n&63);
}


For now, the error that I get with the above code is just:

PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare hash_file()

Is there some way to rewrite the above code, or something to
substitute for hash_file? Thanks!

Any insight would be great! I'd be willing to paypal someone. :)

How would your rewrite the above code?

Thanks!

Just change the function name - both in the function itself and the
places you call it, i.e. my_hash_file.
