I appreciate the suggestion, but even after setting the iv to zero within the php code and including the --noiv option within the command line; it still does not produce the same base64 encoded string under both methods.
I noticed that the command line was keying off of 2 passphrases and the php code off of only 1, so I forced the command line to key off of only 1 passphrase--to no avail.
I am obviously missing something. Someone out there has had to have done this at least once before.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Respectfully,
Gary

try setting the iv to all 0's $iv = 0; $iv = pack("a".mcrypt_enc_get_iv_size($td),$iv);
