syntax:

new md5()

return:

object - a new md5 checksum object.

description:

This method creates a new object, and initializes it to be used for md5 sum computation. MD5 is an old, well-established checksum calculation formula that is still used for File download verification. The checksum verifies the integrity of the data, because if any bit is changes in the source, then the checksum will be drastically different.
