If you are encrypting binary and there is a null terminator partway through your encryption, you will loose the rest of the string. A workaround is to base64_encode your binary string first. We found this problem while trying to encrypt CC information. Some CC values would not decrypt after we converted them to a binary string. We were using the MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256 module to encrypt with. Hope this helps someone. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mcrypt-generic.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+32074 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+32074 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+32074
