As already said here, you cannot reverse the md5() function ...
So :
-The user fills a login box (login, password)
-The PHP script 'crypts' this password with md5();
-The already-encrypted password in the database (or the passwd file) is
compared with the one provided by the user (and encrypted by PHP) : if they
aren't the same ... Bye !!!
And for more security, I use a JavaScript MD5 function to encrypt the
provided password in the user's browser so it goes already encrypted on the
net ... Then PHP's just got to compare it with the one in the database !!!
