What hash functions are most commonly used today?

Question

PHP

In some sources they say that it is better not to use the n-th function, in others - on the contrary, and then a whole war begins in the comments. MD5, SHA1, SHA2... which is better?

Answer 1

php.net/manual/en/faq.passwords.php

Answer 2

MD5 - compromised
SHA1 - secure, but there are attacks that allow you to create multiple documents with the same hash, differing only by one block in the middle
SHA256 - currently secure, TLS certificates now use it as a hash function (used to be SHA1)
