MD5 File Hashing - match Delphi output with PHP md5_file function

Question

I\'m currently using this code for md5 hashing in Delphi 7:

function MD5(const fileName : string) : string;
var
  idmd5 : TIdHashMessageDigest5;
  fs : TFile         


        

Answer 1

Compare your results with:

• md5(file_get_contents( )) in PHP

• hash("md5", ) from the PHP hash framework extension

• the command line programs md5(1) aka md5sum(1)

If all but one agree what the sum is, then you know where to dig.
