The second argument should be one of the values returned by openssl_get_md_methods() rather than hash_algos(). ‘Hash’ and ‘OpenSSL’ are independent extensions and support different selection of digest algorithms. Notably, Hash supports some non-cryptographic hashes like adler or crc.
openssl_digest
(PHP 5 >= 5.3.0, PHP 7)
openssl_digest — Computes a digest
Description
openssl_digest
( string
$data
, string $method
[, bool $raw_output = FALSE
] ) : stringComputes a digest hash value for the given data using a given method, and returns a raw or binhex encoded string.
Warning
This function is currently not documented; only its argument list is available.
Parameters
-
data -
The data.
-
method -
The digest method to use, e.g. "sha256", see openssl_get_md_methods() for a list of available digest methods.
-
raw_output -
Setting to
TRUEwill return as raw output data, otherwise the return value is binhex encoded.
Return Values
Returns the digested hash value on success or FALSE on failure.
Errors/Exceptions
Emits an E_WARNING level error if an unknown signature algorithm
is passed via the method parameter.

Example:
// $fileBuffer is buffer of file in open mode or a generic stream...
$fingerPrint = openssl_digest ($fileBuffer , "sha512");
$method parameter is one of hash_algos() array;
<? echo"<PRE>";
var_dump(hash_algos());
echo "</PRE>"
?>
Output:

Hmm.. really @mwgamera? openssl_get_cipher_methods() returns cipher methods but openssl_digest() expects a digest method in the second parameter. However even the docu on this page links to the openssl_get_cipher_methods() method in the "See also" section (however this can be a coincidence). Shouldn't it be a digest method from openssl_get_md_methods() instead openssl_get_cipher_methods()?
I'm not very experienced in cryptography but I don't really understand why you would pass a cipher method to a hash function instead of a digest method.
