How can I md5 a string in c++?
In exampel PHP we use md5("my word here"), but how can I do it in C++?

MD5 is just a hash algorithm used mostly for password transmission over the net. It's almost useless because anyone who can sniff a network packet can just capture and resend the md5'd string to the server just as easily as capturing and resending an unencrypted string.

Anyway there is no built-in C++ function to hash a stream of data. but you can find some MD5 source all over the net. In windows you can probably #include <wincrypt.h> and use CryptCreateHash() with CALG_MD5 as the ALG_ID then call CryptHashData() to feed the data that needs encrypting. Check MSDN for more info.

Programming is like kids... One mistake and you have to support it for life

That's why "nonce" is used. To produce an unique hash for each and every request.

A lot of people use PHP for md5(), and when they use a C++ implementation it doesn't always return the same hash.

This implementation's hashes match that of php. I found the c++ md5 function article on zedwood.
