            'password', false);
?>

Output:

Program 2:

php

<?php
 
// PHP program to illustrate
//  hash_hmac_file function
 
// Create a file to calculate hash of
file_put_contents('gfg.txt', 'Geeks');
 
// Display result
echo hash_hmac_file('sha256', 'gfg.txt', 'password') . "</br>";
 
 
// Create a file to calculate hash of
file_put_contents('gfg.txt', 'Content');
 
// Display result
echo hash_hmac_file('md5', 'gfg.txt', 'password', false);
?>

Output:
