Re: Re: Problem decrypting data stored in MySQL text field using mcrypt?

Why not use the AES_ENCRYPT and AES_DECRYPT functions? from the MySQL manual: AES_ENCRYPT() and AES_DECRYPT() were added in version 4.0.2, and can be considered the most cryptographically secure encryption functions currently available in MySQL.

Hi Jas, Not really -- I can't help thinking there's something about retrieving the encrypted value from the MySQL text field that makes the end result un-decryptable... I was hoping that someone could provide me with a working example that encrypts a value, stores in a MySQL table, then retrieves the value from the table, decrypts it and returns the same text as the original plaintext... But, thank you very, very much for going out of your way to help, all the same...
