>Is there a minimum field size for using mcrypt? Boy I feel dumb now. :) My answer was in my post. Mcrypt returns a string that is usually longer than the original string, since the return has to be a multiple of the block size used. So a 2-character string takes "blocksize" characters when encrypted. Mcrypt also apparently needs the extra characters when decrypting. - Steve Yates - If at first you don't succeed, lower your standards. ~ Taglines by Taglinator - www.srtware.com ~
