If all you are doing is trying to allow a user to change their password you do not need decryption, all you need to do is md5 the new password and update the database.
If you really want to use public key encryption take a look at the PHP GPG Exetension or GPG. Again unless you have information that you want to encrypt on the machine but not decrypt you don't need public key encryption and hashing with either md5 or sha1 will work fine.
