Erm, they're not exactly common! MD5 is secure enough for most things where a hash is required, but if you require even higher security, look at SHA.
My knowledge of PHP is poor.
So for example the word "cheese" could produce a code like abcdefg
the word hamburger could also produce the code abcdefg
this way if someone has the hash code then there is more than one possible word (or series of words) that could have produced the code making it secure.
