md5() output in java

[subwiz]

PhpNuke encrypts passwords in MD5 using the function md5():

http://php.net/md5

This function returns a string, whose length is 32 characters.

Now, we have to integrate Nuke with other applications Java applications. So I tried encrypting a string in Java:

import java.security.*;

..
MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5");

String str = "mathi";
md.update(str.getBytes());
byte[] raw = md.digest();

BASE64Encoder encoder = new BASE64Encoder();
String base64 = encoder.encode(raw);
System.out.println(base64);

I get a 24 character long string. It does not have any resemblance with the php encrypted string. If u have any suggestions regarding this plz help me!

Firstly is java connecting with PHP if so id suggest looking at the Java functions which basically allows PHP to connect to Java and insert a string. In your case the MD5(); output.

Im only just started learning java so i wont be any help in making the function work within java

           // two characters form the hex value.
           for (int i = 0, j = 0; i < l; i++) {
