The md5() function generates an MD5 cryptographic hash of a string. MD5 produces a 128-bit (32 hexadecimal character) hash.

Usage

Use md5() for checksums, non-security caching keys, or legacy compatibility. Note: MD5 is cryptographically broken and should not be used for security purposes; use SHA-256 or SHA-512 instead.
