MD5 Hash a String (such as a password string)

See more Encryption Examples

Demonstrates how to MD5 hash a string to get MD5 hash in hex encoded string representation. (The MD5 hash is 16 bytes, and therefore a hex encoded MD5 hash would be 32 chars.) PHP Extension

<?php

include("chilkat.php");

$password = 'myPassword';

$crypt = new CkCrypt2();
$crypt->put_HashAlgorithm('md5');
$crypt->put_EncodingMode('hex');
$md5Hex = $crypt->hashStringENC($password);
print 'MD5 hash (as a hex string) = ' . $md5Hex . "\n";

// The hex string will be uppercase.  Your application
// can easily convert it to lowercase if desired via non-Chilkat means.

?>
