Locking down your password

Hello,

I have a question to ask about login form security. It isn't about mysql injection by the way.

Of course you will want to secure your password using some kind of encryption, but what would you say would be the bare minimum? Surely =>

Code:

$password = $_POST['password']; $password = md5($password);

isn't secure enough?
