md5('240610708') == md5('QNKCDZO')
This comparison is true because both md5() hashes start '0e' so PHP type juggling understands these strings to be scientific notation. By definition, zero raised to any power is zero.

md5 — Calcula el 'hash' md5 de un string
Advertencia
No se recomienda utilizar esta función para contraseñas seguras debido a la naturaleza rápida de este algoritmo de «hashing». Véase las Preguntas más frecuentes de «hash» de contraseñas para más detalles y el empleo de mejores prácticas.
Descripción
md5
( string
$str
[, bool $raw_output = FALSE
] ) : string
Calcula el hash MD5 de str utilizando el
» Algoritmo MD5 Message-Digest
de RSA Data Security, Inc. y devuelve ese hash.
Parámetros
-
str -
El string.
-
raw_output -
Si se establece el
raw_outputopcional enTRUE, el resumen md5 será devuelto en formato binario sin tratar con una longitud de 16.
Valores devueltos
Devuelve el hash como un número hexadecimal de 32 caracteres.
Ejemplos
Ejemplo #1 Ejemplo de md5()
<?php
$str = 'apple';
if (md5($str) === '1f3870be274f6c49b3e31a0c6728957f') {

<?php
function raw2hex($rawBinaryChars)
{
return = array_pop(unpack('H*', $rawBinaryChars));
}
?>
The complement of hey2raw.
You can use to convert from raw md5-format to human-readable format.
This can be usefull to check "Content-Md5" HTTP-Header.
<?php
$rawMd5 = base64_decode($_SERVER['HTTP_CONTENT_MD5']);
$post_data = file_get_contents("php://input");
if(raw2hex($rawMd5) == md5($post_data)) // Post-Data is okay
else // Post-Data is currupted
?>

speed of hash('md5',) VS md5()
2017-07-14, on a i7-3540M CPU @ 3.00GHz, md5() is slightly quicker than hash('md5',)
This code takes 2.29 seconds
<?php
for($i=0;$i<10000000;++$i) md5("$i");
?>
while this one takes 2.77 seconds
<?php
for($i=0;$i<10000000;++$i) hash('md5',"$i");
?>
But in average, less than half a second for 10 000 000 repetitions is a very minimal advantage.

Note: Before you get some idea like using md5 with password as way to prevent others tampering with message, read pages "Length extension attack" and "Hash-based message authentication code" on wikipedia. In short, naive constructions can be dangerously insecure. Use hash_hmac if available or reimplement HMAC properly without shortcuts.

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.

It has been found, that hash('md5', 'string'); is faster than md5($string):

Do not use the hex strings returned by md5() as a key for MCrypt 256-bit encryption. Hex characters only represent four bits each, so when you take 32 hex characters, you are only really using a 128-bit key, not a 256-bit one.
Using an alphanumeric key generator [A-Za-z0-9] will also only provide a 192-bit key in 32 characters.
Two different MD5s concatenated in raw binary form, or mcrypt_create_iv(32,MCRYPT_DEV_RANDOM) will give you a true 256-bit key string.

Sometimes it's useful to get the actual, binary, md5 digest.
You can use this function for it:
<?php
function md5bin( $target ) {
$md5 = md5( $target );
$ret = '';
for ( $i = 0; $i < 32; $i += 2 ) {
$ret .= chr( hexdec( $md5{ $i + 1 } ) + hexdec( $md5{ $i } ) * 16 );
}
return $ret;
}
?>

If you want to hash a large amount of data you can use the hash_init/hash_update/hash_final functions.
This allows you to hash chunks/parts/incremental or whatever you like to call it.

If you want to replicate CPAN Digest::MD5's function md5_base64 in PHP, use this code:
<?php
function md5_base64 ( $data )
{
return preg_replace('/=+$/','',base64_encode(pack('H*',md5($data))));
}
?>

This recursive function allow you to hash something in depth using md5().
<?php
function checksum($what, $depth = 1) {
$depth--;
if (!$depth)
return md5($what);
else
return md5(checksum($what, $depth));
}
?>
The function hashed the previous hash to md5() again and again for number of times and returns the last received hash.
Example usage:
<?php
for ($i = 1; $i <= 10; $i++) {
echo "$i. ".checksum("test", $i)."<br />";
}
?>
It can be used for security purposes.

MySQL MD() will not give you the same hash if character set is different.
ex :
<?php
#suppose table_name CHARSET=UTF8
#$md5 = md5('Städte'); # will give you a different hash than MySQL MD5()
#instead use
$md5 = md5(utf8_encode('Städte'));
$r = mysql_query("SELECT *, MD5(`word`) FROM `table_name` WHERE MD5(`word`) LIKE '{$md5}'");
if($r)
while( $row= mysql_fetch_assoc($r) )
print_r($row);
?>

The complement of raw2hex
<?php
function hex2raw( $str ){
$chunks = str_split($str, 2);
for( $i = 0; $i < sizeof($chunks); $i++ ) {
$op .= chr( hexdec( $chunks[$i] ) );
}
return $op;
}
?>
