I do the same thing (although not with a MySQL database) and I anticipated problems in storing the binary hash, so I chose to perform a simple Base64 encoding of the hash result first. So I end up storing 28-character strings in the database, like this: v5szlQNp+vVs1xUZqdYPTe9sgzU= I find this technique works very well and the code to perform the Base64 encode/decode is straightforward and easily found on the web.
