<para>
Generates the cyclic redundancy checksum polynomial of 32-bit
lengths of the <parameter>str</parameter>. This is usually used
to validate the integrity of data being transmitted.
</para>
<para>
Because PHP's integer type is signed, and many crc32 checksums will
result in negative integers, you need to use the "%u" formatter of
<function>sprintf</function> or <function>printf</function> to get
the string representation of the unsigned crc32 checksum.
</para>
<para>
This second example shows how to print a converted checksum with the
<function>printf</function> function:
<example>
<title>Displaying a crc32 checksum</title>
<programlisting role="php">
<![CDATA[
<?php
$checksum = crc32("The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.");
printf("%u\n", $checksum);
?>
]]>
</programlisting>
</example>
</para>
<para>
See also <function>md5</function> and <function>sha1</function>.
