note 14187 modified in function.md5 by jmoore

This can be used in conjunction with a JavaScript implementation of MD5 (e.g. http://pajhome.org.uk/crypt/md5) to do a login form that avoids the user's password ever being transmitted in the clear. [Ed: This actually makes very little difference to the security of your site, I can sniff this md5'd password and then just login by sending that md5'd version of the password without knowing the real one to your webserver and it makes no difference to me, I can still log in. - James <jmoore at php.net>] http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.md5.php
