Note Submitter: ecrane57 at gmail dot com ---- jizzy @ Nowhere posted a routine to encrypt and decrypt just below. The decrypt pad-character removing function has a problem. It starts to low (0) and ends to high. So changing the $i in the for loop to start at 1 and end before $bit_check like below, fixes the padding range. I tested with a 40 character clear text and removed one char at a time down to 1 and it worked. function decrypt($encrypted_text,$key,$iv,$bit_check){ $cipher = mcrypt_module_open(MCRYPT_TRIPLEDES,'','cbc',''); mcrypt_generic_init($cipher, $key, $iv); $decrypted = mdecrypt_generic($cipher,base64_decode($encrypted_text)); mcrypt_generic_deinit($cipher); $last_char=substr($decrypted,-1); for($i=1; $i < $bit_check; $i++){ if(chr($i)==$last_char){ $decrypted=substr($decrypted, 0, strlen($decrypted) - $i); break; } } return $decrypted; }
