What is MD5 its encryption algorithm...? am in php Mysql

I treat it as a black box that takes any string, and converts it to a 32
character "encrypted" string that happens to be a hex number. The algorithm
is fast on systems with 32 bit registers, and (for a while anyway) it was
very difficult to "fool", in the sense of coming up with a string that will
produce the desired encrypted value.
