I’m using bcrypt locally since xampp has PHP 5.3 but online my hosting account only has PHP 5.2. Is there a good alternative I can use which works for 5.2?

I think i should update and improve this answer, because i learned a lot about password hashing in the last years.
PHP version 5.5 will provide a convenient way to use BCrypt, for PHP version 5.3.7 and above there exist a compatibility pack. Please have a look at this answer.
For PHP versions before 5.3 it is recommended to use the phpass library, they support PHP back to version 3.
