Are you maybe looking for something like this:

<?
$passwords = "test";
$pass = md5($passwords);
echo $pass;
?>

The above will output: 098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6 as MD5 hash value.

Subject: [PHP] How to generate MD5 passwords

Hello *,

I like to generate md5 password but I have not found a command
or something like this to generate it. Curently I am using

$PASSMD5=exec("echo $PASSCLEAR" |md5sum")

Is there a better way ?
