Secure hash and salt for PHP passwords


It is currently said that MD5 is partially unsafe. Taking this into consideration, I'd like to know which mechanism to use for password protection.

Why is char[] preferred over string for passwords?


In Swing , the password field has a getPassword() (returns char[] ) method instead of the usual getText() (returns String ) method. Similarly, I have come across a suggestion not to use String s to handle passwords. Why does String pose a threat to security when it comes to passwords?
