<para>
Calculates the MD5 hash of <parameter>str</parameter> using the
<ulink url="&url.rfc;1321">RSA Data Security, Inc.
MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm</ulink>, and returns that hash.
The hash is a 32-character hexadecimal number. If the optional
<parameter>raw_output</parameter> is set to &true;, then the md5 digest
is instead returned in raw binary format with a length of 16.
</para>
<note>
<simpara>
The optional <parameter>raw_output</parameter> parameter was added in
PHP 5.0.0 and defaults to &false;
