Agreed, though the Python could come closer.

import sha
print sha.new("It's just data").hexdigest()

__import__('sha').new("It's just data").hexdigest()

Perl version using Joe's chaining above:
use Digest::SHA1;
print Digest::SHA1->new->add("It's just data")->hexdigest;

Or do it in functional style:
use Digest::SHA1 'sha1_hex';
print sha1_hex "It's just data";

And here it is in Ruby:
require 'digest/sha1'
print Digest::SHA1.hexdigest("It's just data")

To me it looks like PHP loses :)

Seriously, having everything in core without modules is just scary.

For Javascript...

Leigh Dodd's FOAF-a-matic tool uses a sha1.js library, see...

http://pajhome.org.uk/crypt/md5/sha1src.html

function sha1_vm_test()
{
  return hex_sha1("abc") == "a9993e364706816aba3e25717850c26c9cd0d89d";
}

ps. thanks for the other references, I'll link it from the FOAF spec.

Gavin,
It is modular, it's just that the modules all share the same flat
namespace and are included when the interpreter is compiled rather
than at runtime.

It's still pretty ugly, but it's designed for people who want to hack
out something quick and dirty. There are ways of cleaning PHP up
a bit if that's what you want to do, although if you're going to
try you might as well just use something else.

OK, I've wrapped the javascript into html and added it to the directory.  As well as adding the Ruby example.

Each has been verified to produce the same result.

Thanks!

Sam's C# version could be marginally abbreviated (and much less legible). Which is virtually useless, although I would hope no one is writing one-time string hashing routines. I'm sure it could probably be compressed further, but you have to give it...

The Java version could be slightly improved:

  md.update(data.getBytes());
  byte[] digest = md.digest();

can be wrapped into:

  byte[] digest = md.digest(data.getBytes());

... and the byte[] to hex loop could be modified to avoid the unnecessary string concatenation:

  for(int i=0; i<digest.length; i++) {
  int digByte = digest[i]&0xFF;
  if(digByte<0x10) System.out.print('0');
  System.out.print(Integer.toHexString(digByte));
  }

Of course, these changes are pretty trivial.  And I'm not trying to turn this into the International Obfuscated Code Contest ;)

PHP does not have sha1() in its core, but in its ext/standard module. Whether or not you want to build your PHP with the standard module is another story, but the SHA1 code is not in PHP's core, the Zend Engine.

Congradulations. You've demostrated that PHP is the best language for writing a one line program which outputs an sha1 hash of a trivial string.

I don't think there's any disputing it.

You guys obvious have animosity towards php. Most likely because someone took your job, or brags about it a lot. Regardless your reasons for hating the most popular scripting language are unwarranted and purely immature.

I have put a little Java Applet up that does sha1sum testing.

In the war of language no one can’t say who will win. But still one win in some cases in other wins in other case. Here PHP won. JAVA is the most suitable one to use but PHP has many advantages. So it won here. What u say??Am i wrong??
