md5 equivalent

Hi I have this in my php code

md5($string)

however my php which is from xampp seems not be able to use md5? Is there any equivalent to it.

 

You can use sha1()

 

try using md5($string);


Every available version of PHP supports md5()

 

How does it not use it? Is there an error or something? This has me curious

 

You can try hash('md5', $string);

 

i just realise it was another error... not due to md5...

 

md5 is best
