mcrypt_decrypt
(PHP 4 >= 4.0.2, PHP 5)
mcrypt_decrypt — Decrypts crypttext with given parameters
Description
string mcrypt_decrypt
( string $cipher
, string $key
, string $data
, string $mode
[, string $iv
] )
Parameters
-
cipher
-
cipher
is one of the MCRYPT_ciphername constants
of the name of the algorithm as string.
-
key
-
key
is the key with which the data is encrypted.
If it's smaller that the required keysize, it is padded with
'\0'.
-
data
-
data
is the data that will be decrypted with
the given cipher and mode. If the size of the data is not n * blocksize,
the data will be padded with '\0'.
-
mode
-
mode
is one of the MCRYPT_MODE_modename
constants of one of "ecb", "cbc", "cfb", "ofb", "nofb" or "stream".
-
iv
-
The iv
parameter is used for the initialisation
in CBC, CFB, OFB modes, and in some algorithms in STREAM mode. If you
do not supply an IV, while it is needed for an algorithm, the function
issues a warning and uses an IV with all bytes set to
'\0'.
Return Values
Returns the decrypted data as a string.
