I created this hash function by slightly modifying the “$gears hash string _” block found at the link in the 43rd post of the thread “class instance oop better prototypical oop” by redgeographysnap.
(though I do wonder if it was okay to use it without permission…)
Yes. Any project that’s published on the web site is fair game for remixing. Of course it’s only polite to acknowledge your sources. (You can mark your project as a remix on the site.)
No, the hash function is working correctly and is available for use, so I do not believe there is an issue. You are likely referring to a different block, so this may not be directly relevant. (I apologize if I have misunderstood the situation.)
