What is the correct way to validate password in PHP 5.4?

Question

I just recently found out that password_verify($string, $hash) only works for 5.5 and above.

I am therefore looking for the correct way to do it in 5.4?

If you read further through the documentation for the PHP 5.5 password functions, you'll find reference to a userland implementation that can act as a plug-in replacement for PHP >= 5.3.7
