Yeah, ego thing aside, I just tested a Javascript (IE6/Win98) md5 hash and a PHP
one. They both came out the same (though it's quite possible different browsers
will implement it differently). Before you think too hard about solutions, I'd
make sure you're using the same text for both. Make sure something stupid is
not going on, like unintentional backslashes in the text or sending "Array()"
instead of an array element or any of the common errors that you might be
overlooking.

Once you figure out what's wrong and how to fix it, you might want to reconsider
using Javascript :o)
