What is the best way to Hash Password in Codeigniter

Question

Recently I tried Hashing a password on insert in CodeIgniter as follows,

$this->load->library('PasswordHash',array(8, FALSE));
$psw = '1234';
$hash = $this->PasswordHash->HashPassword($psw);

But I met with an Error saying "Unable to load the requested class: passwordhash". Please help me with this, or what is the best way to do it.

use this

$this->load->library('phpass');

OR

Use MD5() or sha1() php function to get hash value.

I created a user with the password = 'admin1234' by hashing it using phpass, where it stores the hased string in database, In user login I want to check the number of rows by matching User ID & Password(Hashing the user's input using phpass), So when it matches it should return '1'. – Dilukshan Mahendra Jan 30 '14 at 07:00
