title: Best alternative for password_hash in PHP 5.3.27?
body: <p>I've been searching around the internet for the best option to encrypt passwords for databases. I've found that <code>password_hash()</code> is the best option, but then I saw that it is only for PHP 5.5+. Apparently my host has version 5.3.27. And I've been searching for the best alternative but couldn't find anything good.</p>
