mcrypt_cbc

Description

string mcrypt_cbc ( int cipher, string key, string data, int mode [, string iv])string mcrypt_cbc ( string cipher, string key, string data, int mode [, string iv])

The first prototype is when linked against libmcrypt 2.2.x, the second when linked against libmcrypt 2.4.x.

mcrypt_cbc() encrypts or decrypts (depending on mode) the data with cipher and key in CBC cipher mode and returns the resulting string.

Cipher is one of the MCRYPT_ciphername constants.

Key is the key supplied to the algorithm. It must be kept secret.

Data is the data which shall be encrypted/decrypted.

Mode is MCRYPT_ENCRYPT or MCRYPT_DECRYPT.

IV is the optional initialization vector.
