为什么PHP的md5与OpenSSL的md5不同？

Question

I am quite confused as to why I am seeing different results for md5 hashing in PHP and in OpenSSL.

Here is the code that I am running:

php -r "echo md5('abc');"

Results in: 900150983cd24fb0d6963f7d28e17f72

While this:

echo abc | openssl md5

Results in: 0bee89b07a248e27c83fc3d5951213c1

Why?

Answer 1

There is only one way to compute MD5.

A blind guess is that the second one also includes a newline inside the string being hashed.

Yeh, verified it. That's it.
