MD5 vs mcript


From PHP.net:
"MD5 calculates the MD5 hash of a string using the RSA Data Security, Inc. MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm, and returns that hash. The hash is a 32-character hexadecimal number."


mcrypt is a complete library package and may not be compiled with some builds of PHP. Also contains a number of functions which you may not need...


When to use which? That depends on the purpose.
Personally, i've found MD5 suits ALL my needs.
