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.

md5
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)
md5 — Errechnet den MD5-Hash eines Strings
Beschreibung
string md5
( string
$str
[, bool $raw_output = false
] )
Berechnet den MD5-Hash von str unter Verwendung
des » RSA Data Security, Inc. MD5
Message-Digest Algorithm und gibt das Ergebnis zurück.
Parameter-Liste
-
str -
Die Zeichenkette.
-
raw_output -
Wurde der optionale Parameter
raw_outputmitTRUEangegeben, 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?";
}
?>
Anmerkungen
Hinweis: Sicheres Passwort Hashing
Es wird nicht empfohlen diese Funktion zu verwenden, um Passwörter zu sichern, da dieser Algorithmus sehr schnell ist. Siehe hier für weitere Informationen.

It has been found, that hash('md5', 'string'); is faster than md5($string):

MySQL MD() will not give you the same hash if character set is different.
ex :
<?php
#suppose table_name CHARSET=UTF8
#$md5 = md5('Städte'); # will give you a different hash than MySQL MD5()
#instead use
$md5 = md5(utf8_encode('Städte'));
$r = mysql_query("SELECT *, MD5(`word`) FROM `table_name` WHERE MD5(`word`) LIKE '{$md5}'");
if($r)
while( $row= mysql_fetch_assoc($r) )
print_r($row);
?>

Requested to every php programmer , never ever ever use md5() to encrypt your passwords. it's not safe.
Go for either one of this -
1) SHA-1
2) SHA-2(SHA-256 , SHA-512)
3) Whirlpool
4) Tiger
5) AES
6)blowfish (recommended 'it's , secure, free and easy)
I wish you safe internet life , thanks :)

<?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
?>

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;
}
?>

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.

If you want to hash a large amount of data you can use the hash_init/hash_update/hash_final functions.
This allows you to hash chunks/parts/incremental or whatever you like to call it.

This recursive function allow you to hash something in depth using md5().
<?php
function checksum($what, $depth = 1) {
$depth--;
if (!$depth)
return md5($what);
else
return md5(checksum($what, $depth));
}
?>
The function hashed the previous hash to md5() again and again for number of times and returns the last received hash.
Example usage:
<?php
for ($i = 1; $i <= 10; $i++) {
echo "$i. ".checksum("test", $i)."<br />";
}
?>
It can be used for security purposes.

If you want to replicate CPAN Digest::MD5's function md5_base64 in PHP, use this code:
<?php
function md5_base64 ( $data )
{
return preg_replace('/=+$/','',base64_encode(pack('H*',md5($data))));
}
?>
