I'm getting different hash values for database-retrieved string and same value submitted through html form.
What am I doing wrong?
database:
SET NAMES utf8;
SET foreign_key_checks = 0;
SET time_zone = '+05:30';
SET sql_mode = 'NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO';
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `fcb_task`;
CREATE TABLE `fcb_task` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`state` enum('unlocked','locked') CHARACTER SET latin1 NOT NULL,
`task_specific_notes` text CHARACTER SET latin1,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=ascii;
INSERT INTO `fcb_task` (`id`, `state`, `task_specific_notes`) VALUES
