Re: TripleDES encryption

Change the format of the string to base 16. You would have to reformat it to binary when you retrieve it. Use bin2hex() and the following: //from php.net function hex2asc($myin) { for ($i=0; $i<strlen($myin)/2; $i++) { $myout.=chr(base_convert(substr($myin,$i*2,2),16,10)); } return $myout; } BTW, why TripleDES ? It's considered somewhat weak now. Are you using libmcrypt? If you do, use rijndael-256 instead.
