The khash() function by sukitsupaluk has two problems, it does not use all 62 characters from the $map set and when corrected it then produces different results on 64-bit compared to 32-bit PHP systems.

Here is my modified version :

<?php

/**
 * Small sample convert crc32 to character map
 * Based upon http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.crc32.php#105703
 * (Modified to now use all characters from $map)
 * (Modified to be 32-bit PHP safe)
 */
function khash($data)
{
    static $map = "0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
    $hash = bcadd(sprintf('%u',crc32($data)) , 0x100000000);
    $str = "";
    do
    {
        $str = $map[bcmod($hash, 62) ] . $str;
        $hash = bcdiv($hash, 62);
    }
    while ($hash >= 1);
    return $str;
}
