Re: MD5 (' ')

I had a similar problem. I think it has to do with the character encoding of the output hash. My only resort (very ugly!!) was to have a perl script wich calculated the hash. The perl script looks like: #!/usr/bin/perl use Digest::MD5 qw(md5_base64); print md5_base64($ARGV[0]); Maybe your problem is similar. The perl MD5 modules seems to have more encoding options than the php one. Have a look it might give you a clue as to where the problem is. Andre At 18:10 29/08/2001 +0300, Andrey Hristov wrote:

I'm not so sure, but there is another parameter to md5() - the salt.
