set_cache_name_function()

class SimplePie {
	set_cache_name_function ( [mixed $function = 'md5'] )
}

Set the callback function to create cache filename with.

Some operating systems (namely Windows) have filename length caps, and some feeds have a URL that is longer than that (eBay feeds, for example). By generating a shorter name, we not only protect the original URL, but we also avoid these types of filename errors.

• Available since SimplePie 1.0.
• Previously existed as set_cache_name_type() since SimplePie Beta 3.

Callback function for naming cache files. The following is a list of built-in PHP functions suited for this, although you are free to write your own and use it here.

• sha1 – Calculates the SHA1 hash using the US Secure Hash Algorithm 1. The hash is a 40-character hexadecimal number.
• md5 – Calculates the MD5 hash using the MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm. The hash is a 32-character hexadecimal number.
• crc32 – Generates the cyclic redundancy checksum polynomial of 32-bit lengths.
• rawurlencode – Encodes the given string according to RFC 1738.
• urlencode – Returns a string in which all non-alphanumeric characters except -_. have been replaced with a percent (%) sign followed by two hex digits and spaces encoded as plus (+) signs.
