First part of description:

"crypt() will return an encrypted string using the standard Unix
DES-based encryption algorithm or alternative algorithms that may be
available on the system."

You need crypt on Windows, good luck. Most liekly crypt() is just
disabled for Win32 port.

MD5 is just a hash, not encryption. I'm guessing this one is built into
PHP.
