Hi Tom, Vincent, list, Tom, your response caused some confusion here. I have mcrypt running on win32 (Win98, Apache 1.3.29 & 2.0.48, PHP 4.3.4 & PHP 5beta3) and am in fact using mcrypt_generic_deinit() succesfully to encrypt/decrypt... This in accordance to the most recent PHP documentation, which exactly opposes your statement: mcrypt_generic_end (PHP 4 >= 4.0.2) mcrypt_generic_end -- This function terminates encryption Description bool mcrypt_generic_end ( resource td) Warning This function is deprecated, use mcrypt_generic_deinit() instead. It can cause crashes when used with mcrypt_module_close() due to multiple buffer frees. So maybe something else is causing Vincent's problem to decrypt. Without further code snippets it is very hard to pin it down... Regards, speedfreak -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
