🔐 Crypt Array
=============

[](#-crypt-array)

Encrypt or decrypt **strings** and **associative arrays** in PHP using OpenSSL and AES-128-CBC.

> ✅ Compatible with **PHP 8.2+**

---

📦 Installation
--------------

[](#-installation)

Install via Composer:

```
composer require robertogriel/crypt-array
```

---

🚀 Usage
-------

[](#-usage)

### 1. Create a Crypto instance

[](#1-create-a-crypto-instance)

```
use Crypto\Crypto;

$crypto = new Crypto('YOUR_SECRET_KEY', 'YOUR_SECRET_IV', true); // true = use Base64
```

---

### 2. Encrypting an array

[](#2-encrypting-an-array)

```
$data = [
    'username' => 'john',
    'email'    => 'john@example.com'
];

$encrypted = $crypto->encrypt($data);
```

---

### 3. Decrypting an array

[](#3-decrypting-an-array)

```
$decrypted = $crypto->decrypt($encrypted);
```

---

### 4. Encrypting a string

[](#4-encrypting-a-string)

```
$encrypted = $crypto->encrypt('Hello world');
```

---

### 5. Decrypting a string

[](#5-decrypting-a-string)

```
$decrypted = $crypto->decrypt($encrypted);
```

---

⚙️ Options
----------

[](#️-options)

The third parameter of the constructor is a boolean to enable **Base64 encoding**:

```
$crypto = new Crypto('key', 'iv', true); // true = enable Base64
```

---

📁 Full Example
--------------

[](#-full-example)

See the full example file: [`sample.php`](sample.php)

It includes:

- Input data
- Encrypted values
- Decrypted results
- Code snippets used

---

🧯 Migration Guide (v1.x → v2.x)
-------------------------------

[](#-migration-guide-v1x--v2x)

Previous versions used `getEncrypted()` and `getDecrypted()` and required a second argument to indicate a string.

### 🔄 Old usage:

[](#-old-usage)

```
$crypto->getEncrypted('string', 1);
$crypto->getDecrypted('string', 1);
```

### ✅ Now:

[](#-now)

```
$crypto->encrypt('string');
$crypto->decrypt('string');
```

The methods are now smart enough to detect whether you're using a string or an array.

---

✅ Requirements
--------------

[](#-requirements)

- PHP >= 8.2
- OpenSSL extension enabled

---

🧪 Testing
---------
