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 ActiveX

<?php

$password = 'myPassword';

$crypt = new COM("Chilkat.Crypt2");
$crypt->HashAlgorithm = 'md5';
$crypt->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.
