note 31238 added to function.md5

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.
