How to generate 16-bit MD5 hash by PHP

The value of

PHP md5 defaults to 32 bits. How to get 16 bits. On the Internet, there are a lot of characters that are intercepted by strings with 16 bits. Is this a reliable way?

The second parameter of the

md5 function is set to TRUE,. The result will be returned in the original binary format of 16 bytes, isn't it?

16-bit MD5 is intercepted through 32-bit. Usually intercept the middle 16 bits

from the encrypted results, 16-bit and 32-bit 8-24 bits are the same
definitely not 32-bit reliable
