A second question to answer, it's not clear from your description --- is
the encryption 'breaking' during en-cryption (before it stuffs the
value into the database) so that all the data is not even getting into
the database? -or- is ir breaking during de-cryption ?
Sounds to me like it might be a control character is getting interpreted
by PgSQL and cutting off the query.
You don't mention - what type field to save the encrypted data??? If
there's a "blob" or "binary" field type (I dunno about PgSQL) try using
that field type for encoded data.
And - try skipping the add slashes step - what happens???
Good luck,
Tom Henry
