Thanks everyone! Does anyone reccommend changing from MD5 or SHA-1 following the fact that they've been cracked or would it be okay to use it? What would be the alternative?

Also I don't need two-way encryption. I'll just get the user to sign up with a password, encrypt it, then get their password when they log in, encrypt that and compare the two
