The sha1() function generates a SHA-1 cryptographic hash of a string. SHA-1 produces a 160-bit (40 hexadecimal character) hash.

Usage

Use sha1() for legacy compatibility, git commit hashing, or checksums. Note: SHA-1 is considered cryptographically broken for security purposes; use SHA-256 or SHA-512 for new applications.
