#### Encrypt and decrypt strings in PHP.

[](#encrypt-and-decrypt-strings-in-php)

This package includes an adapter for [Laravel](http://laravel.com/)'s `Encrypter` that adheres to my `Encrypter` interface. This can be used in vanilla PHP. Other implementations might be added in the future.

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

[](#installation)

Install this package through Composer:

```
composer require codezero/encrypter
```

Vanilla PHP Implementation
--------------------------

[](#vanilla-php-implementation)

Autoload the vendor classes:

```
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php'; // Path may vary
```

Choose a key. You will need the same key that was used to encrypt a string, to decrypt it.

```
$key = 'my secret key';
```

And then use the `DefaultEncrypter` implementation:

```
$encrypter = new \CodeZero\Encrypter\DefaultEncrypter($key);
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Encrypt a string

[](#encrypt-a-string)

```
$encrypted = $encrypter->encrypt('some string');
```

### Decrypt an encrypted string

[](#decrypt-an-encrypted-string)

```
try {
    $decrypted = $encrypter->decrypt($encrypted);
} catch (\CodeZero\Encrypter\DecryptException $exception) {
    // Decryption failed...
}
```

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

```
$ composer run test

```
