Answer / dn singh
With the md5 function you can encrypt your text with 32
character hexadecimal string.
For Ex.
$str = 'apple';
echo md5($str);
this prints '1f3870be274f6c49b3e31a0c6728957f'

Answer / vivek
Calculates the MD5 hash of str using the ? RSA Data
Security, Inc. MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm, and returns
that hash. The hash is a 32-character hexadecimal number. If
the optional raw_output is set to TRUE, then the md5 digest
is instead returned in raw binary format with a length of 16.
The optional raw_output parameter was added in PHP 5.0.0 and
defaults to FALSE
