md5('240610708') == md5('QNKCDZO')
This comparison is true because both md5() hashes start '0e' so PHP type juggling understands these strings to be scientific notation. By definition, zero raised to any power is zero.
md5
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
md5 — Errechnet den MD5-Hash eines Strings
Warnung
Es ist nicht empfohlen, diese Funktion zu verwenden um Passwörter zu hashen, da dieser Passwortalgorithmus relativ schnell ist. Die Seite Password Hashing FAQ enthält weitere Informationen und Best Practices zum Hashen von Passwörtern.
Beschreibung
md5
( string
$string
, bool $binary = false
) : string
Berechnet den MD5-Hash von str unter Verwendung des
» RSA Data Security, Inc. MD5 Message-Digest
Algorithm und gibt das Ergebnis zurück.
Parameter-Liste
-
string -
Die Zeichenkette.
-
binary -
Wurde der optionale Parameter
binarymittrueangegeben, wird der MD5-Wert im Raw-Binary-Format mit einer Länge von 16 Zeichen zurückgegeben.
Rückgabewerte
Gibt den Hash als 32 Zeichen lange Hexadezimalzahl zurück.
Beispiele
Beispiel #1 Ein md5()-Beispiel
<?php
$str = 'apple';
if (md5($str) === '1f3870be274f6c49b3e31a0c6728957f') {
echo "Haetten Sie lieber einen gruenen oder einen roten Apfel?";
}
?>

<?php
function raw2hex($rawBinaryChars)
{
return = array_pop(unpack('H*', $rawBinaryChars));
}
?>
The complement of hey2raw.
You can use to convert from raw md5-format to human-readable format.
This can be usefull to check "Content-Md5" HTTP-Header.
<?php
$rawMd5 = base64_decode($_SERVER['HTTP_CONTENT_MD5']);
$post_data = file_get_contents("php://input");
if(raw2hex($rawMd5) == md5($post_data)) // Post-Data is okay
else // Post-Data is currupted
?>

Use the strict comparision/identity operator:
php > var_dump(md5('240610708') == md5('QNKCDZO'));
php shell code:1:
bool(true)
php > var_dump(md5('240610708') === md5('QNKCDZO'));
php shell code:1:
bool(false)
php >
because, as mentioned previously, using the equality operator may result in false positives.

Note: Before you get some idea like using md5 with password as way to prevent others tampering with message, read pages "Length extension attack" and "Hash-based message authentication code" on wikipedia. In short, naive constructions can be dangerously insecure. Use hash_hmac if available or reimplement HMAC properly without shortcuts.

From the documentation on Digest::MD5:
md5($data,...)
This function will concatenate all arguments, calculate the MD5 digest of this "message", and return it in binary form.
md5_hex($data,...)
Same as md5(), but will return the digest in hexadecimal form.
PHP's function returns the digest in hexadecimal form, so my guess is that you're using md5() instead of md5_hex(). I have verified that md5_hex() generates the same string as PHP's md5() function.

Do not use the hex strings returned by md5() as a key for MCrypt 256-bit encryption. Hex characters only represent four bits each, so when you take 32 hex characters, you are only really using a 128-bit key, not a 256-bit one.
Using an alphanumeric key generator [A-Za-z0-9] will also only provide a 192-bit key in 32 characters.
Two different MD5s concatenated in raw binary form, or mcrypt_create_iv(32,MCRYPT_DEV_RANDOM) will give you a true 256-bit key string.

Sometimes it's useful to get the actual, binary, md5 digest.
You can use this function for it:
<?php
function md5bin( $target ) {
$md5 = md5( $target );
$ret = '';
for ( $i = 0; $i < 32; $i += 2 ) {
$ret .= chr( hexdec( $md5{ $i + 1 } ) + hexdec( $md5{ $i } ) * 16 );
}
return $ret;
}
?>
