MD5 from the browser

[Anon]

Hi, I am working on a simple user authentication page using php.
All the examples and tutorials that I have seen till now use a login page based on simple HTML form that trasmits unencrypted username and password to the server to be processed.

1- How can I send an MD5 of the password from the browser instead?

2- Does it make sense to do that?

Thanks in advance,
Giulio.
