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
$iv_size = mcrypt_enc_get_iv_size ($td));
$iv = @mcrypt_create_iv ($iv_size, MCRYPT_RAND);

if (@mcrypt_generic_init ($td, $key, $iv) != -1)
{
    $c_t = mcrypt_generic ($td, $plain_text);
    @mcrypt_generic_init ($td, $key, $iv);
    $p_t = mdecrypt_generic ($td, $c_t);
}
if (strncmp ($p_t, $plain_text, strlen($plain_text)) == 0)
    echo "ok";
else
    echo "error";
?>

The above example shows how to check if the data before the encryption is the same as the data after the decryption.
