md5 — Calculate the md5 hash of a string
It is not recommended to use this function to secure passwords, due to the fast nature of this hashing algorithm. See the Password Hashing FAQ for details and best practices.
Description
$str
[, bool $raw_output
= FALSE
] )
Calculates the MD5 hash of str
using the
» RSA Data Security, Inc.
