Greetings again listers,

Is there a maximum string length that md5() can take?  I don't see a 
mention of one in the PHP manual.

I am considering using a salt and md5() to store password information in 
MySQL.

If there is a max string length then I will inform my users when they 
attempt to create a new account.  I have seen some web applications 
require a password that is a min of 6 or 8 chars and a max of 32...

Thanks,

-Aaron
