Adding users and passwords to a .htpasswd file

[Jess1]

Hi

If I use a PHP script to automatically add users and there passwords to my .htpasswd file as they register. How, using my script do I encrypt the password before writing it to the .htpasswd file?

Any help will be most appreciated.

Thanks
