Caution, MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256 is not equivalent to AES_256. The way to make RIJNDAEL be decrypted from AES with openssl is to use MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_128 and padd the string to encrypt before encrypting with the follwing function: <?php function pkcs5_pad ($text, $blocksize) { $pad = $blocksize - (strlen($text) % $blocksize); return $text . str_repeat(chr($pad), $pad); } ?> On the decryption, the choosing of AES_256 or AES_128, etc. is based on the keysize used in the crypting. In my case it was a 128bit key so I used AES_128. --was-- Caution, MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256 is not equivalent to AES_256.
