Be aware, however, that this is one-way encryption - you cannot un-encrypt it.
The way you can use this is to encrypt and store the password. When someone
wants to log in, you encrypt what they enter for their password, and see if it
matches what's stored.
For two-way encryption, you'll have to have PHP compiled with the mcrypt
library or other encryption library.
