Fw: MD5 in PHP and MD5 in Perl dont match up.

Im Very Sorry / Embarrased.. my code example had a mistake with extra linebreak. Here is the example with out it, which gives a different MD5 hash. The PHP is .. $data = "Cheese"; print "Data: '$data' <P>\n"; $new_hash = md5($data); print "RE HASH ' $new_hash ' <P>\n"; Output .... Data: 'Cheese' RE HASH ' a67778b3dcc82bfaace0f8bc0061f20e ' Thanks in advance, Steve. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steven Carr" <steven.carr@ish.de> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Wednesday, March 26, 2003 4:20 PM Subject: MD5 in PHP and MD5 in Perl dont match up. > > Hello All, > Im having trouble with compatibility between MD5 Digest in Perl and in > PHP.
