MD5.


Here is a sample for both:

<?php
$salt1="something custom";
$salt2="blahblah";
$salt3="differentblah";
$hash1=sha1($salt1.$source)
$hash2=sha1($salt2.$source);
$hash3=md5($salt3.$source);
?>

difference between hash 1 and 2 (minus the semi colon)?

and what is the value of this $source?

I gather the output would be some hexadecimal value correct?

Thanks
