MD5 is not encryption, it's just a hash. What you need to do is simply to save md5($password) instead of $password in your database. Then when the user wants to log in, you compare md5($_GET["password"]) with the password hash stored in the database.
Here is a tiny utility to convert a string to MD5 -------------------- |

Yes, absolutely. The only difference is that md5 is available from PHP 3 whereas sha1 is available from PHP 4.3.
