note 53912 added to function.md5

Thomas Holz: Awesome idea. This is simplicity itself. I love it :-) mina86: "there are more then 2^128 strings of maximum length of 128 bits" Humm... you almost got me there, but this is not true. MD5 input length is congruent to 448 modulo 512, padded with zero bits. Therefore, any message less than 448 bits is just a binary number of length 448 (with some zeros). A 128 bits message generates a block of 448 bits with 320 zero-bits, anything less will just have more zero bits, so there is really no such thing as "less than length". Your objection is right, however, if you explicitely save the message's length, too (MD5 does not). ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.md5.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+53912 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53912&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53912&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53912&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53912&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53912&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53912&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+53912&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
