title: What's faster/better to use: the MySQL or PHP md5 function?
body: <p>I checked the passwords for the users against the DB.</p>
  
  <p>What is faster, the <strong>MySQL</strong> MD5 function</p>
  
  <pre><code>... pwd = MD5('.$pwd.')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>OR the <strong>PHP</strong> MD5 function</p>
  
  <pre><code>... pwd = '.md5($pwd).'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What is the right way between the two options?</p>
