Home >>PHP String Functions >PHP crc32() Function
The PHP crc32() function is used to get the 32-bit cyclic redundancy checksum code of the given input string. To convert the given input string into a 32-bit cyclic redundancy checksum code this crc32() function uses the CRC32 algorithm.
Syntax :
crc32($string)
The $string is the given input string which will be passed to the function as a parameter.
We use the "%u" & printf to make sure that the output which we get is correct because sometimes the output could be in negative so it's better to use the crc32() function with "%u".
Let's see some examples of this crc32() function:
<html> <body> <?php $str = crc32("PHPTPOINT"); echo $str; ?> </body> </html>
Example 2
<html> <body> <?php $str = "PHP is a server side scripting language. that is used to develop Static websites or Dynamic websites or Web applications"; echo crc32($str); ?> </body> </html>
Example 3
<html> <body> <?php $str = crc32("We love PHP !!!"); echo "without %u:".$str."<br>"; echo "with %u:"; printf ("%u",$str); ?> </body> </html>
