md5 perl & php

I want to convert this to php

$data{'password'} = md5_base64( $data{'password'} )

Code (markup):

I tried this but failed

$password =  md5($password);
$password = base64_encode($password);

PHP:

 

Found this:

<?php 
function md5_base64 ( $data ) 
{ 
  return preg_replace('/=+$/','',base64_encode(pack('H*',md5($data)))); 
} 
?>

PHP:

here: http://www.php.net/md5


Might work, I haven't tested
