# md5 in form-maker.php

 * The code in form-maker.php computes the MD5 hash of the constant string ‘uniqid(
   rand(), TRUE)’, always resulting in bd736efb144d599cf463541431fbf5c4. This looks
   unintended to me, especially since that string without the quotes would be a 
   valid PHP expression. What is the purpose of that piece of code, as it is right
   now?
 * (Posting it here, as the 10web AI agent didn’t tell me an email address where
   to submit possible security issues, and it stopped talking to me after referring
   me to a human agent. That human agent didn’t show up, though.)
