I use
iu.addParam("HashAlgorithm", "MD5");

and got 4 different results on server-side by PHP:
Code:
HashCodeMD5_1                     opHHTfJ8Rx9RJDtrVIqIqw==
base64_decode(HashCodeMD5_1)      ¢‘ÇMò|G.Q$;kTŠˆ«
base64_encode(HashCodeMD5_1)      b3BISFRmSjhSeDlSSkR0clZJcUlxdz09
md5_file(original file)           a291c74df27c471f51243b6b548a88ab


its not a mistake, it is base64_encode() function gives the md5-like string

v.3.5 and v.4 are of the same behavour

what is wrong?
thank you

Please see Robust Upload sample in evaluation package.

Here is short code snippet how to use MD5 hash in PHP:

Code:
$postedMD5Hash = $_POST ["HashCodeMD5_1"];

//Compute MD5 hash. Since Image Uploader sends the hash value encoded with Base 64 algorithm
//the result should be also encoded wi	th Base 64.
$actualMD5Hash = base64_encode(pack("H*",md5_file($_FILES["SourceFile_1"]['tmp_name'])));

//If the result differs from the uploaded one, the upload should be interpreted as corrupted.
if ($postedMD5Hash != $actualMD5Hash)
{
	header("HTTP/1.0 400 Bad Request");
	return;
}
Best regards,

Thank You, it works.

md5 hash commonly means 32-character hexadecimal number format.
IU hash return raw binary format.
Thus it may be useful to mark this somehow in the HashAlgorithm Property page.

In order to keep the integrity of datdabase i use backward action:
Code:
$md5_arr=unpack("H*",base64_decode($_POST["HashCodeMD5_1"]));
$md5=$md5_arr['1'];

In Image Uploader reference we have mentioned that generated hash value is encoded with base64 encoding. We have design it such way in order to simplify the hash value validation on the most of server platforms (PHP, ASP.NET, Ruby, Python and so on).

The right code should be like the following:
Code:
$md5_arr=unpack("H*",base64_decode($_POST["HashCodeMD5_1"]));
$md5=substr($md5_arr['1'],0,-1);
