RE: [PHP] Encryption Question SOLVED

[snip] I am encrypting some data on one server and now I am attempting to decrypt on another server using mcrypt_encrypt and mycrypt_decrypt (using same key and initialzation vector). It is almost working but I seem to still have a little problem, that data is missing the last character which still seems to be encrypted. I am putting the data in the database with addslashes, and retrieving with stripslashes, but I get things like this; 45221141¤Þ,]¹9Ñ 77777775ÿåZ|z while($arrEncInfo = mysql_fetch_array($dbGetSub)){ $stripDataA = stripslashes($arrEncInfo['dataA']); $stripIV = stripslashes($arrEncInfo['iv']); $dataA = mcrypt_decrypt($encAlg, $encKey, $stripDataA, $encMode, $stripIV); echo $dataA . "\n"; } Has anyone seen this? Could there be a difference between the PHP installs? Both are version 4.3.7. [/snip] I found the problem on the field in question. I had left the column in the database the same length as it was prior to encrypting the data. This, as it turns out, is a BAD THING [tm]. Make sure that database columns are large enough to hold the whole of the encrypted data.
