Hi,

 

I guess even the author of the code doesn't know what it's for. Where on earth does this come from?

 

The code is an extremely cumbersome way of writing

 

md5(time())

 

Why would one hash the current Unix time? I have absolutely no idea. Maybe they wanted a fixed length. Or maybe it's a botched security feature.
