ONLY DEV
------------------
- need fast calcHash function for larger files (32MB - 1GB) in php (php extension written in C (dll))
-- returns an crc32 checksum (type) checksum of the given file.... start reading the file with an start offset of 512 bytes and stops 128 bytes before the end of file.
-- start offset (seekstart) is needed for consoles like super nintendo with copystation headers. End offset (seekend) is used e.g for mp3 id3 tags.
-- maybe also direct access to zip-files file="c:/path/rom.zip/pathinzip/rom.cdi" (including better errorhandeling than php for corrupt zips .... )

try{
// calcHash should be created as an php extension (dll, so)
$crc32 = calcHash($type=´CRC32´, $path=´c:/path/rom.cdi´, $seekStart=512, $seekEnd=-128, $callback=array($this, ´updateProgress´), $callbackEach=1024);
}
catch(CalcHashException $e){}

/**
* callback function for progress update in php-gtk2
* called each X bytes specified by "callbackEach" from within calcHash
*/
public function updateProgress($type, $path, $bytesProcessed, $bytesTotal){
print $bytesProcessed.´ of ´.bytesTotal.´ processed! (File: ´.$path.´)´."
";
}
