"Here is a list of hashes which are currently supported by
mhash." (with a list including SHA1).
It also states it's possible this documentation is outdated
(which I didn't verify).
SHA1 is as easy as writing:
$sha1 = mhash(MHASH_SHA1, "yoursecretdata");
And I never used it before or any mhash() function so it's
not really hard to achive this.
mhash is available for nearly every distribution as a package
and even if not, it's not hard to install.
I can see a possible point with a dedicated sha1() function,
but I don't see one in saying that mhash() is badly
documented (even if it was, it's very easy to find the right
information within seconds). The later case would vindicate a
documentation report.
