encrypt decrypt in php

encrypt decrypt in php

Here i’m going to show how to wright a simple encrypt decrypt in php.
encryption/decryption is using widely to secure the data so in web programming.
It is very necessary to secure a confidential data.
We all know we can use md5 or sha or any algorithm for encrypting a text.
But the drawback of this method is it is one side. That means we can only encrypt the data. ie encrypted data cannot be decrypted.

In php we can use

mcrypt_encrypt

for encrypt a password and

mcrypt_decrypt

for decrypt a password

So let us create a simple class for encrytp/decrypt a password in php

class encdec{
	//for encrypting the pawwword or any other data
	function encrypt($data,$key){

		$encrypted_text = base64_encode(mcrypt_encrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, md5($key), $data, MCRYPT_MODE_CBC, md5(md5($key))));
		return $encrypted_text;

	}
	//for decrypting the pawwword or any other data
	function decrypt($data,$key){

		$decrypted_text = rtrim(mcrypt_decrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, md5($key), base64_decode($data), MCRYPT_MODE_CBC, md5(md5($key))), "\0");
		return $decrypted_text;

	}
}
//usage
$data=new encdec();
echo $enc=$data->encrypt('hai','key');
echo "</br>";
echo $dec=$data->decrypt($enc,'key');
