crc32
  (PHP 4 >= 4.0.1, PHP 5)
crc32 — Calculates the crc32 polynomial of a string
  
 
 
  Description
  
   int crc32
    ( string $str
   )
  
  
   Because PHP's integer type is signed, and many crc32 checksums will
   result in negative integers, you need to use the "%u" formatter of
   sprintf() or printf() to get
   the string representation of the unsigned crc32 checksum.
  
  
 
 
  Return Values
  
   Returns the crc32 checksum of str
 as an integer.
  
  
 
  Examples
  
   
    Example #1 Displaying a crc32 checksum
    
     This example shows how to print a converted checksum with the
     printf() function:
    
 
    
<?php
$checksum = crc32("The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.");
printf("%u\n", $checksum);
?>
