The entire string returned by mcrypt_generic must be stored in a database for proper decryption later, or the string will not entirely decrypt properly. If your original string is 10 characters long and the block size is 8, you would need at least 16 characters in your database field. Note the string returned by mdecrypt_generic will be 16 characters as well...use rtrim($str, "\0") to remove the padding. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mcrypt-generic.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+27388 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+27388 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+27388
