I found another way to deal with this. And that's to run the encrypted
string through base64_encode before inserting into database and running
base64_decode when pulling it out of the database.

Hmmm ... I guess that's an idea. Any other ways of dealing with this?

When I encrypt a string that ends in e it shows up as a space in the
database, when I pull it back out of the database, the string is
missing the e. I tried converting the field in the database to a blob
and that didn't work either. My next idea is to add a bin2hex and then
a
hex2bin:
function hex2bin($hexdata) {
$bindata=;
for ($i=0;$istrlen($hexdata);$i+=2) {
$bindata.=chr(hexdec(substr($hexdata,$i,2)));
}
return $bindata;
}

I was hoping to get some feedback if this is a good way to go about this.
Thanks, Mark
Just add a different letter to the end of the string. So long as it isn't
e it should be ok yeah?
