PHP hash（）错误函数

Question

Each time I try to use the hash() function, it gives me a fatal error for undefined function hash().

First thing I do is check phpinfo() and see if hash is actually present. Phpinfo() does tell me hash() is available. Doesn't mean it's loaded, so when I check my ini file, the pgsql PDO is commented out yet the PDO is working just fine (I guess the generic PDO is always loaded by default). There is also no entry for hash and I wouldn't know the extension name anyways. But, it should have been installed.

Using PHP 7.0.1 on Mac OS X.11 and I used this website http://php-osx.liip.ch as phpbrew just doesn't want to work right for me.

• UPDATE -

I decided to go look inside the directory structure where php is installed and noticed that other extensions have their own INI files in the php.d directory. How does one know if the hash extension requires it's own INI file? Or is this just an easier way to enable extensions without having to tinker with INI production and development configurations?

Answer 1

I figured out the problem. While my page dumps out phpinfo() saying version 7.0.2 with all the needed extensions, my CLI version is still liked to 5.6.16 and missing extensions.

As they say, an assumption is the mother of any screw-up. I assumed the installer for 7.0.2 would rename the Apple provided one and/or link to the newer binary.
