Topic: md5 issue php 5.6

Is there a known issue with md5_file function on php 5.6?
If so, how can this be fixed?

We are receiving a warning when trying to check the md5 on a file that has been transferred.

We have another server running php 5.5.38 and it works.  php 5.6 breaks.

Thanks!

$ php56 -r '
echo md5_file(PHP_BINARY) . "\n";
passthru("md5sum ". PHP_BINARY);
'

BTW, you are of course aware that MD5 is unsecure ?
