The most secure way to hash at the moment is using bcrypt or pbkdf2, and combine the password with a random salt for added security. Ideally a per-user salt, even more ideally regenerated after each login, but if not possible a generic salt stored in a config file or a settings table or combine the two.

To be able to use the encrypted information you need the key, to make this automatic the system doing the decryption needs access to the key. Which means anyone with access to the system also can access the key. Which in turn makes your encryption worthless.

If you require this kind of security for your web frontends your client facing applications , create API driven applications, so you don't need to store anything in the frontend. Instead, split your application into a frontend and a backend.

The frontend contains the controllers and views. The models don't access a database, but do REST calls to the backend to retrieve the information.

The backend can be secured physically and at the network level , the API requests can be secured using request signing if possible in combination with mutual authentication. And there is no way to access information other then through the API. See more: PHP. I want to hash my passwords in codeigniter. I can't find a way around it this is my insert model.
