javascript - identical md5 for JS and PHP

Question

for a small project I need identical md5 hashes for both JS and PHP. Im using this javascript to convert a word to md5 (the .min version)

the word 'hello' outputs in

JS: ec59d44dee488759467970486fc9402d

PHP: 5d41402abc4b2a76b9719d911017c592

so they are not identical. I've tried to use md5(utf8_encode($word)); instead of md5($word);

but both gave the same result.

Any ideas? Help is much appreciated

Answer 1

The md5 function on phpjs gives the correct results. It is dependent on utf8_encode, so you need that as well.
