You can try the MySQL built in functions. Ie encode(str, key)
insert into test (password) values (encode("mypass","some key"));
You can then use the decode() functions in your matching queries.
You also need to consider security of your php code, as the key to decode
will be in the query strings.
There are other built-in encryptions functions in MySQL you can explore.

Subject: Adding encryption to passwords
Hi guys I have developed an intranet web interface with user access.
I am storing the passwords into a mysql table as raw text (I know not so
secure). So I am adding group access features and I am thinking to
encrypt the passwords because this seems to grow as a project although
it started as a simple web tool.
So what do you think is the best way to use crypt, mcrypt, hash or
perhaps md5 and what are really the differences because I am not sure if
I get it right.
