Just for the record -
As some have pointed out, you have two ways to generate the hash of a file:
Method 1 [this function]: sha1_file($file)
Method 2: sha1(file_get_contents($file))
It's important to realize that these two methods are NOT the same thing. If they were, I seriously doubt this function would exist.
The key difference, as far as I can tell, is how the file's contents are loaded. The second method loads the entirety of $file into memory before passing it to sha1($str). Method two, however, loads the contents of $file as they are needed to create the hash.
If you can guarantee that you'll only ever have to hash relatively small files, this difference means very little. If you have larger ones, though, loading the entirety of file into memory is a bad idea: best case, you slow down your server as it tries to handle the request; worse case, you run out of memory and don't get your hash at all.
Just try to keep this in mind if you decide to load the file's contents yourself, in lieu of using this function. On my system, I was able to use this function to generate the hash of a 2.6GB file in 22 seconds, whereas I could not with the second method, due to an out-of-memory error (which took 185 seconds).

sha1_file — Calcula el hash sha1 de un archivo
Descripción
Calcula el hash sha1 del archivo especificado mediante
filename utilizando el
» algoritmo de hash seguro 1 de US
y devuelve ese hash. El hash es un número hexadecimal de 40 caracteres.
Parámetros
-
filename -
El nombre del archivo para el hash.
-
raw_output -
Cuando es
true, devuelve el resumen en formato binario sin tratar con una longitud de 20.
Valores devueltos
Devuelve un string cuando es exitoso o false si no es así.
Ejemplos

P2P programs like LimeWire utilize sha1 to identify files. However they do it in base32. Here's an utility class if you want to write a Gnutella client in PHP5

If you've got a script that allows user file upload, and you want to prevent multiple uploads of the same file:
<?
session_start();
$isDuplicate = false;
if(isset($_FILES["filename"]["tmp_name"]) && file_exists($_FILES["filename"]["tmp_name"])) {
$fileHash = sha1_file($_FILES["filename"]["tmp_name"]);
if(!isset($_SESSION["check_filelist"])) {
$_SESSION["check_filelist"] = array($fileHash);
}
elseif(in_array($fileHash,$_SESSION["check_filelist"])) {
$isDuplicate = true;
}
else {
$_SESSION["check_filelist"][] = $fileHash;
}
if($isDuplicate) {
echo "You've already uploaded that file";
}
else{
// do some stuff
}
}
?>

checking the sha1 of the file. ideal for download scripts making sure the file the user is downloading is not currupt
by checking the sha1 key
<?php
$filename = './Path/To/Your/File.zip';
if (file_exists($filename)) {
echo"i see the file";
} else {
echo "recheck the link file maybe broken";
}
$file = sha1_file('./Path/To/Your/File.zip');
echo"<br>is file hash valid?";
echo"hash = add the hash here<br>";
echo"hash of file :";
print($file);
?>

<?php
if(!function_exists('sha1_file'))
{
function sha1_file($file = null)
{
if(is_null($file) || !file_exists($file))
{
return trigger_error('File is null or does not exists');
}
return sha1(file_get_contents($file));
}
}
?>
Remember, it's important to write a corret url like this:
/home/snackzon/public_html/php/sha1.php
