There's no built-in function with that name. MD5 is a well-known hashing algorithm (hashing, not encryption), but it has been unsuitable for use with hashing passwords for a long, long time. If you want to review the algorithm you can read about it here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5If you need to hash passwords, this is the modern way to do it:http://jeremykendall.net/2014/01/04/php-password-hashing-a-dead-simple-implementation/
