mysql users / password database encryption

I was wondering.
I have a website with users and their passwords.

Right now i don't encrypt the passwords in the USERS TABLE.

So obviously these passwords are sent over the www in clear text when the user logs in...

If i encrypt the password using php MD5, are the passwords sent in clear text or are they encypted?

thanks
Noam
