Hash function

[paolo mazza]

Hi All,
has anyone already ported the hash function to LiveCode?

Using php is a trivial function like this: createHash("10.00","978")

I looked in the ML archive, and I found that some years ago,
answering the same question,  Mark wrote "I don't know of one, but
couldn't you use the built in md5 and do  something simple to reduce
it from 128 to 32 bits (maybe average the  four groups of 32 bits) ? "
... but I do not understand this.

Thanks a lot
All the Best
