Salting and MySQL

Can someone provide me with an example of how to use encryption using Blowfish (or ADES) and salting for a user password in PHP using MySQL ?

Also, i am new to crypto so any suggestion would be appreciated.

I have found this code that does more than just using cryptographic hash functions and salting : http://crackstation.net/hashing-security.htm#phpsourcecode

But it prepends the algorithm name and the number of iterations it does to the output. Is that considered secure ?
