md5_file

(PHP 4 >= 4.2.0, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

md5_fileCalcula el resumen criptográfico md5 de un archivo dado

Descripción

md5_file(string $filename, bool $raw_output = false): string

Calcula el resumen criptográfico MD5 del archivo especificado por el parámetro filename usando el » Algoritmo de resumen de mensajes MD5 de RSA Data Security, Inc., y devuelve ese resumen. El resumen criptográfico es un número hexadecimal de 32 caracteres.

Parámetros

nombre_archivo

El nombre de archivo

raw_output

Cuando es true, devuelve el resumen en un formato binario primitivo con una longitud de 16.

Valores devueltos

Devuelve una cadena en caso de éxito, false de lo contrario.

Versión Descripción
5.1.0 Se modificó la función para usar la API de secuencias. Esto quiere decir que se puede usar con envolturas, como md5_file('http://example.com/..')

If you just need to find out if two files are identical, comparing file hashes can be inefficient, especially on large files. There's no reason to read two whole files and do all the math if the second byte of each file is different. If you don't need to store the hash value for later use, there may not be a need to calculate the hash value just to compare files. This can be much faster:

<?php
define
('READ_LEN', 4096);

if(
files_identical('file1.txt', 'file2.txt'))
echo
'files identical';
else
echo
'files not identical';

// pass two file names
// returns TRUE if files are the same, FALSE otherwise
function files_identical($fn1, $fn2) {
if(
filetype($fn1) !== filetype($fn2))
return
FALSE;

if(
filesize($fn1) !== filesize($fn2))
return
FALSE;

if(!
$fp1 = fopen($fn1, 'rb'))
return
FALSE;

if(!
$fp2 = fopen($fn2, 'rb')) {
fclose($fp1);
return
FALSE;
}

$same = TRUE;
while (!
feof($fp1) and !feof($fp2))
if(
fread($fp1, READ_LEN) !== fread($fp2, READ_LEN)) {
$same = FALSE;
break;
}

if(
feof($fp1) !== feof($fp2))
$same = FALSE;

fclose($fp1);
fclose($fp2);

return
$same;
}
?>

It's faster to use md5sum than openssl md5:

<?php
$begin
= microtime(true);

$file_path = '../backup_file1.tar.gz';
$result = explode(" ", exec("md5sum $file_path"));
echo
"Hash = ".$result[0]."<br />";

# Here 7 other big files (20-300 MB)

$end = microtime(true) - $begin;
echo
"Time = $end";
# Time = 4.4475841522217

#Method with openssl
# Time = 12.1463856900543
?>

About 3x faster

In response to using exec instead for performance (Nov 13 2007 post), It looks like the performance depends on the size of the file. See the results below using the same script from the original post. The first hash is with md5_file and the second is with openssl md5.

With a 1MB file:
Hash = df1555ec0c2d7fcad3a03770f9aa238a; time = 0.005006
Hash = df1555ec0c2d7fcad3a03770f9aa238a; time = 0.01498

With a 2MB file:

Hash = 4387904830a4245a8ab767e5937d722c; time = 0.010393
Hash = 4387904830a4245a8ab767e5937d722c; time = 0.016691

With a 10MB file:

Hash = b89f948e98f3a113dc13fdbd3bdb17ef; time = 0.241907
Hash = b89f948e98f3a113dc13fdbd3bdb17ef; time = 0.037597

Performance seems to change proportionally with the file size. Judging from the previous post's default file name (.mov) he/she was probably dealing with a large file. These are just quick tests and far from a perfect benchmark, but you might want to test your own files before assuming that the openssl solution is faster (ie, if working with small text files vs. movies, etc)
