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.

Salted MD5 is just fine if not used as a dumb password-only hash.

Store MD5(PAD0+MD5(PAD1+username+PAD2+password+PAD3)+PAD4+password)

where PADx are randomly chosen, suitably long blocks of random binary data.

But if your password hashes are compromised, all bets are off anyway, so you should focus on that instead of anything else first.
