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
(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
sha1_file — Calcola l'hash sha1 di un file
Descrizione
Calcola l'hash sha1 di filename usando il
» US Secure Hash Algorithm 1,
e restituisce l'hash. L'hash è un numero esadecimale di 40 caratteri.
Elenco dei parametri
-
filename -
Il nome del file
-
raw_output -
Quando è impostato a
true, l'hash sha1 è restituito in formato binario con una lunghezza di 20 caratteri. Per default valefalse.
Valori restituiti
Restituisce una stringa se ha successo, false negli altri casi.
Log delle modifiche
| Versione | Descrizione |
|---|---|
| 5.0.0 |
Aggiunto il parametro raw_output.
|
| 5.1.0 |
Modificata la funzione per utilizzare lr API streams. Ciò significa che si può
utlizzare la funzione con i vari warppers, tipo sha1_file('http://example.com/..')

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
