Just as Peter said, you can use crypt to check the passwords, it'll be
something like:
if ( '!#@KJCKMSD@' == crypt( 'phprocks', substr( 'phprocks', 0, 2 ) ) )
{
// Validation succeeded
}
else
{
// Invalid password
}
Crypt can not be unencrypted, but you can of course compare the crypted
passwords...
