PHP - MCRYPT - CBC - IDEA

Hi all, I'm looking for some information, rearging mcrypt. Now, I've been through the normal channels, I've been going in in cercles. I need to recreate this perl script in php : sub cryptage { use Crypt::CBC; $key = "SuperFreak"; my $action = shift; my $string = shift; my $c = new Crypt::CBC($key,"IDEA"); if ($action == 1) { #- crypt return $c->encrypt_hex($string); } else { #- decrypt return $c->decrypt_hex($string ); } As you can notice it uses CBC, and IDEA. MCRYPT_IDEA (non-free) is all I get from the net, where can I purchase it ? Or better yet, how can I recreate this function in PHP ? even a simple "Look this way" would help. Thanx Frantzcy -- Sleep, sometime in MAY... if lucky
