md5('240610708') == md5('QNKCDZO')
This comparison is true because both md5() hashes start '0e' so PHP type juggling understands these strings to be scientific notation. By definition, zero raised to any power is zero.
md5
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)
md5 — 文字列のmd5ハッシュ値を計算する
警告
パスワードを守るためにこの関数を使うことはおすすめしません。 ハッシュアルゴリズムの高速性がその理由です。 詳細とベストプラクティスについては、パスワードハッシュ FAQを参照ください。
説明
md5
( string
$str
[, bool $raw_output = FALSE
] ) : string
» RSA Data Security, Inc. の
MD5メッセージダイジェストアルゴリズム を用いて
str の MD5 ハッシュ値を計算し、
そのハッシュを返します。
パラメータ
-
str -
文字列。
-
raw_output -
オプションの
raw_outputにTRUEが指定された場合、 md5 ダイジェストが 16 バイト長のバイナリ形式で返されます。
返り値
32 文字の 16 進数からなるハッシュを返します。
例
例1 md5() の例
<?php
$str = 'apple';
if (md5($str) === '1f3870be274f6c49b3e31a0c6728957f') {
echo "Would you like a green or red apple?";
}
?>

Use the strict comparision/identity operator:
php > var_dump(md5('240610708') == md5('QNKCDZO'));
php shell code:1:
bool(true)
php > var_dump(md5('240610708') === md5('QNKCDZO'));
php shell code:1:
bool(false)
php >
because, as mentioned previously, using the equality operator may result in false positives.

<?php
function raw2hex($rawBinaryChars)
{
return = array_pop(unpack('H*', $rawBinaryChars));
}
?>
The complement of hey2raw.
You can use to convert from raw md5-format to human-readable format.
This can be usefull to check "Content-Md5" HTTP-Header.
<?php
$rawMd5 = base64_decode($_SERVER['HTTP_CONTENT_MD5']);
$post_data = file_get_contents("php://input");
if(raw2hex($rawMd5) == md5($post_data)) // Post-Data is okay
else // Post-Data is currupted
?>

From the documentation on Digest::MD5:
md5($data,...)
This function will concatenate all arguments, calculate the MD5 digest of this "message", and return it in binary form.
md5_hex($data,...)
Same as md5(), but will return the digest in hexadecimal form.
PHP's function returns the digest in hexadecimal form, so my guess is that you're using md5() instead of md5_hex(). I have verified that md5_hex() generates the same string as PHP's md5() function.

Note: Before you get some idea like using md5 with password as way to prevent others tampering with message, read pages "Length extension attack" and "Hash-based message authentication code" on wikipedia. In short, naive constructions can be dangerously insecure. Use hash_hmac if available or reimplement HMAC properly without shortcuts.

Do not use the hex strings returned by md5() as a key for MCrypt 256-bit encryption. Hex characters only represent four bits each, so when you take 32 hex characters, you are only really using a 128-bit key, not a 256-bit one.
Using an alphanumeric key generator [A-Za-z0-9] will also only provide a 192-bit key in 32 characters.
Two different MD5s concatenated in raw binary form, or mcrypt_create_iv(32,MCRYPT_DEV_RANDOM) will give you a true 256-bit key string.

Sometimes it's useful to get the actual, binary, md5 digest.
You can use this function for it:
<?php
function md5bin( $target ) {
$md5 = md5( $target );
$ret = '';
for ( $i = 0; $i < 32; $i += 2 ) {
$ret .= chr( hexdec( $md5{ $i + 1 } ) + hexdec( $md5{ $i } ) * 16 );
}
return $ret;
}
?>
