MD5 in Java Compatible With PHP md5() Function

January 26, 2017January 26, 2017 Stefano Leave a comment

The request was to have a Java function generating the same MD5 string generated by PHP when using the md5() function. Here the code snippet:

MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5");
md.update(value.getBytes("UTF-8"));
BigInteger hash = new BigInteger(1, md.digest());
String result = hash.toString(16);
if ((result.length() % 2) != 0) {
  result = "0" + result;
}

MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5");

md.update(value.getBytes("UTF-8"));

BigInteger hash = new BigInteger(1, md.digest());

String result = hash.toString(16);

if ((result.length() % 2) != 0) {

result = "0" + result;

}

Please, note the check on the “toString()” result which must be padded with a zero if needed. Have a nice hashing!

The request was: replace the clear password on a big account database with its MD5 version as a string like the one we get with the md5() PHP function. There are a lot of suggestions on Stack Overflow, but many of them work only with SQLServer 2008 or greater version. Of course before to understand […]

This new fabulous feature of Header and Footer has been requested few times and I introduced it for a my personal need on a big blog I manage. How does it work? Rather simple: a generic block of code (in my case a snippet of JavaScript) had to be included just before the first <h2> […]

Few years ago I wrote FLV auto player, a plugin which was able to replace a link to an uploaded .flv file with a player. Exactly what recently has been introduced in WP for .mp4 and other video formats. Since the support for flash is day by day disappearing, the plugin has no more sense […]

A plugin user was setting the SMTP parameters to send the newsletter using an external SMTP provider. Nothing special, standard connection with standard values. But every time he tried to send a test […]
