title: identical md5 for JS and PHP
body: <p>for a small project I need identical md5 hashes for both JS and PHP.
  Im using <a href="http://pajhome.org.uk/crypt/md5/instructions.html" rel="nofollow">this</a> javascript to convert a word to md5 (the .min version)</p>
  
  <p>the word 'hello' outputs in</p>
  
  <p><strong>JS</strong>: ec59d44dee488759467970486fc9402d</p>
  
  <p><strong>PHP</strong>: 5d41402abc4b2a76b9719d911017c592</p>
  
  <p>so they are not identical. I've tried to use <code>md5(utf8_encode($word));</code> instead of <code>md5($word);</code> </p>
  
  <p>but both gave the same result.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas? Help is much appreciated</p>
