laravel-openssl-encryption
==========================

[](#laravel-openssl-encryption)

Laravel 4 encryption package that uses the PHP **openssl** extension.

It can replace the default Laravel 4 encryption core package that uses the PHP **mcrypt** extension.

It has been created to run Laravel 4 apps on the [Google App Engine for PHP](https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/php/) platform that currently (may 2013) does not support the mcrypt extension.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Add the anotherzero/laravel-openssl-encryption package to your composer.json file.

```
"require": {
	"laravel/framework": "4.0.*",
	"anotherzero/laravel-openssl-encryption-4x": "1.0.*"
},

```

Install the package.

```
$ php composer.phar install

```

In the `app/config/app.php` file, register the `LaravelOpensslEncryptionServiceProvider` and comment the default `EncryptionServiceProvider`.

```
'providers' => array(

	...
	//'Illuminate\Encryption\EncryptionServiceProvider',
	'Neoxia\LaravelOpensslEncryption\LaravelOpensslEncryptionServiceProvider',
	...

```

One more thing ...

Currently, Laravel 4 checks if the PHP **mcrypt** extension is loaded and die if it is not !
So, to complete the installation, we have to bypass this check.
But unfortunately, this check is done in the `Illuminate\Foundation\start.php` script, at the heart of the framework bootstrap process.

To bypass the check, change the `start.php` script in the `vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Foundation` folder as follow.

```
if ( false and ! extension_loaded('mcrypt'))
{
	die('Laravel requires the Mcrypt PHP extension.'.PHP_EOL);

	exit(1);
}

```
