mdecrypt_generic
(PHP 4 >= 4.0.2)
mdecrypt_generic -- This function decrypts data
Description
string
mdecrypt_generic ( resource td, string data)
This function decrypts data. Note that the length of the returned string
can in fact be longer then the unencrypted string, due to the padding of
the data.
Example 1. mdecrypt_generic() Example <?php
/* Data */
$key = 'this is a very long key, even too long for the cipher';
$plain_text = 'very important data';
/* Open module, and create IV */
$td = mcrypt_module_open ('des', '', 'ecb', '');
$key = substr ($key, 0, mcrypt_enc_get_key_size ($td));
$iv_size = mcrypt_enc_get_iv_size ($td);
$iv = mcrypt_create_iv ($iv_size, MCRYPT_RAND);
/* Initialize encryption handle */
if (mcrypt_generic_init ($td, $key, $iv) != -1) {
/* Encrypt data */
$c_t = mcrypt_generic ($td, $plain_text);
mcrypt_generic_deinit ($td);
/* Reinitialize buffers for decryption */
mcrypt_generic_init ($td, $key, $iv);
$p_t = mdecrypt_generic ($td, $c_t);
/* Clean up */
mcrypt_generic_deinit ($td);
mcrypt_module_close ($td);
}
if (strncmp ($p_t, $plain_text, strlen($plain_text)) == 0) {
echo "ok\n";
} else {
echo "error\n";
}

The above example shows how to check if the data before the encryption is
the same as the data after the decryption. It is very important to
reinitialize the encryption buffer with
mcrypt_generic_init() before you try to decrypt the
data.
The decryption handle should alwayws be initialized with
mcrypt_generic_init() with a key and an IV before
calling this function. Where the encryption is done, you should free the
encryption buffers by calling mcrypt_generic_deinit().
See mcrypt_module_open() for an example.
