What’s the difference between md5(), crc32() and sha1() crypto on PHP?

Question

Anonymous User · Answer

The major difference is the length of the hash generated. CRC32 is, evidently, 32 bits, while sha1() returns a 128 bit value, and md5() returns a 160 bit value. This is important when avoiding collisions.
