       Hmmm.... linux users that haven't heard of freshmeat.net?  : )

    Typing in "php md5" at freshmeat gives:

http://freshmeat.net/projects/hcemd5/?highlight=php+md5

  Which will allow you to encrypt/decrypt as you desire, but I'm sure there
are a hundred other ways to do the encryption, depending on just how much
strength you need.
