The md5_file() function calculates the md5 hash of a file.

PHP
```
$my_file = '/home/ali/article.txt';
 
echo md5_file($my_file);
 
// => 745d3dfb68af1b1384aea0125aae5c3f
```
MD5 encryption can be done using the Digest::MD5 class in Ruby, but to generate a hash for a file, we need to read it’s contents into a variable (string) first.

Ruby
```
require 'digest/md5';
 
my_string = File.read('/home/ali/article.txt');
 
print Digest::MD5.hexdigest(my_string);
 
# => 745d3dfb68af1b1384aea0125aae5c3f
```

The md5() function calculates the md5 hash of a string.

PHP
```
echo md5('apple');

MD5 encryption can be done using the Digest library in Ruby. To use the Digest library, just require it…

Ruby
```
require 'digest/md5';
 
print Digest::MD5.hexdigest('apple');
 
# => 1f3870be274f6c49b3e31a0c6728957f
```
