note 86089 added to function.mcrypt-decrypt

If you happen to be decrypting something encrypted in ColdFusion, you'll discover that its encrypt function apparently pads the plaintext with ASCII 4, the "end of transmission" character. Building on eddiec's code, you can remove both nulls and EOTs with this: <?php $retval = mcrypt_decrypt( ...etc ...); $retval = rtrim($retval, "\0\4"); // trim ONLY the nulls and EOTs at the END ?> ---- Server IP: 208.69.120.35 Probable Submitter: 67.167.138.237 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mcrypt-decrypt.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/86089 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86089/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86089/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86089/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86089/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86089/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86089/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86089 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/86089 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
