如何发送空字节数组的MD5哈希？

Question

I need to send a request from PHP to a C# WEB API. As part of the authentication it requires an MD5 hash of an empty byte array.

How can I generate an MD5 hash of an empty byte array on PHP? I would do it like this in C#.

byte[] Content = new byte[0];
using (var md5 = MD5.Create())
{
  return md5.ComputeHash(content);
}

You can do it in many way:

$hash = md5(null, true);
// or
$hash = md5('', true);
// or
$hash = md5(false, true);
