Code error while creating new admin user

I have the function detailed below which adds a new admin user and password to the database. The issue however is that the MD5 password differs from that when I create the password through command line. Anyone have any ideas where I am going wrong?

function new_admin($adminarr) { global $dbh;

$sql = "INSERT INTO admins (admins_uname,admins_pwd) values (?,md5(?))";
$data = array($adminarr['admins_uname'],$adminarr['admins_pwd']);
$sth = $dbh->prepare($sql);
try {
    $sth->execute($data);
} catch (PDOException $e) {
    error($e, $sql);
}

}
