An earlier poster suggested using md5 multiple times and strrev. I cannot stress enough that this is
an incredibly bad idea: when you md5 a md5 hash you're vastly increasing the chance of a
collision. The only possible security here is through obscurity -- and that's no security at
all.
If you're worried about md5's collisions, try looking at the sha1 function and/or
enforcing password restrictions on your system
