openssl_get_md_methods

Gets available digest methods

&reftitle.description; `array` `openssl_get_md_methods` `bool` `aliases`&false;

Gets a list of available digest methods.

&reftitle.parameters;

`aliases`

- Set to &true; if digest aliases should be included within the returned `array`.

&reftitle.returnvalues;

An `array` of available digest methods.

### `openssl_get_md_methods` example

Shows how the available digests might look, and also which aliases might be available.

    <?php
    $digests             = openssl_get_md_methods();
    $digests_and_aliases = openssl_get_md_methods(true);
    $digest_aliases      = array_diff($digests_and_aliases, $digests);

    print_r($digests);

    print_r($digest_aliases);

    ?>
