Laravel 4.2 Encrypter for PHP 7.1+
==================================

[](#laravel-42-encrypter-for-php-71)

A port of the Laravel 5.4 Encrypter for 4.2 with PHP 7.1 support.

Due to mcrypt being deprecated in 7.1 you can't run Laravel 4.2 under PHP 7.1 without a lot of deprecate warnings.

This package adds a PHP 7.1+ Encrypter for Laravel 4.2

> **Note:** Backward compatibility has been added in version 1.1.0 for PHP 5.6+ to make upgrading easier
