md5 - Calculate the md5 hash of a string

SYNOPSIS

       string md5 (string  $str, [bool	$raw_output = false])

DESCRIPTION

	Calculates the MD5 hash of $str using the RSA Data Security, Inc. MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm, and returns that hash.

PARAMETERS

	      o $str
		- The string.

	      o $raw_output
		- If the optional $raw_output is set to TRUE, then the md5 digest is instead returned in raw binary format with a length of 16.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns the hash as a 32-character hexadecimal number.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      A md5(3) example

	      <?php
	      $str = 'apple';

	      if (md5($str) === '1f3870be274f6c49b3e31a0c6728957f') {
		  echo "Would you like a green or red apple?";
	      }
	      ?>

NOTES

       Note

	      Secure password hashing

	       It  is  not  recommended  to  use this function to secure passwords, due to the fast nature of this hashing algorithm. See here for
	      details.
