  1. POHow would I translate this C# code into PHP?
    text
    copied!<p>I need a PHP version of the following C# code:</p> <pre><code>string dateSince = "2010-02-01"; string siteID = "bash.org"; string sharedSecret = "12345"; // the same combination on my luggage! using System.Security.Cryptography; MD5CryptoServiceProvider x = new MD5CryptoServiceProvider(); byte[] dataBytes = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(string.Format("{0}{1}{2}", dateSince, siteID, sharedSecret)); string result = BitConverter.ToString(x.ComputeHash(dataBytes)); </code></pre> <p>... this code snippet appears to be incomplete. But here's what I think is going on:</p> <ol> <li><p>concatenating dateSince, siteID, and sharedSecret. Stealing underpants.</p></li> <li><p>???</p></li> <li><p>converting that string into a ascii encoded byte array.</p></li> <li><p>taking the MD5 hash of that array.</p></li> </ol> <p>This mysterious BitConverter object appears to be converting that MD5 hashed array, into a string of hexadecimal numbers. According to the aforementioned doc, the value of result should look something like: "6D-E9-9A-B6-73-D8-10-79-BC-4F-EE-51-A4-84-15-D8"</p> <p>Any help is greatly appreciated!!</p> <hr> <p>Forgot to include this earlier. Here's the PHP version of what I've written so far:</p> <pre><code>$date_since = "2010-02-01"; $site_id = "bash.org"; $shared_secret = "12345"; $initial_token = $date_since.$site_id.$shared_secret; $ascii_version = array(); foreach($i=0; $i &lt; strlen($initial_token); $i++) { $ascii_version[] = ord(substr($initial_token,$i,1)); } $md5_version = md5(join("", $ascii_version)); $hexadecimal_bits = array(); foreach($i=0; $i &lt; strlen($md5_version); $i++) { // @todo convert to hexadecimal here? $hexadecimal_bits[] = bin2hex(substr($md5_version,$i,1)); } $result = join("-", $hexadecimal_bits); </code></pre>
