Facades\Hash vs md5() Laravel 5.3?

Question

Laravel

What 's the point of Facades\Hash if there's a standard md5() function ?

Answer 1

It makes no sense if there is no difference between them for you.
But in general md5 is just a hash function. And Facades\Hash provides a wrapper for password methods. Here it is worth comparing with the password_hash function , which seems to be used internally.

Answer 2

What's the point of {{any function}} if there is a standard function {{any standard function}}?

According to this logic, the framework can be thrown out.

Answer 3

As Maxim said , it uses the password_hash function

And you also need to read the documentation
