PHP String Encryption
=====================

[](#php-string-encryption)

Class to encrypt and decrypt a string using openssl and open64.

I have used this in the past to encrypt/decrypt data at rest inside cookies that get used server side, or to encrypt/decrypt data at rest inside database.

This repo is still in development

------------

[](#installation)

```
$ composer require djm56/php-string-encrytion

```

Define constants the encrytion\_key please change to something unique, the encrytion\_type can stay the same.

```
define('ENCRYPTION_KEY', 'abcdefghij1234');
define('ENCRYPTION_TYPE', 'AES-128-CBC');
```

Choosing the correct Encrytption type or cipher use the available php function to list them from instruction on this page
