password* functions before php 5.5.0
There is noway to use password_hash and password_verify and other password* functions natively with php older than 5.5.0 . You can see frustrating indication (PHP 5 >= 5.5.0) in php documentation.
If you are not the admin of php server or you don’t want to upgrade your php server right now, you are like me solved by ircmaxell who codes with contributers one file php library password.php listed bellow. Take last version found here
Simple of use : download password.php and include it in your php page and enjoy
password.php
