too long

Question

I use codeigniter encryption lib for keep encoded company name. It is working with php 5.3. I upgrade my os to Ubuntu 14.04. So now my php version is 5.5. Old saved company names are not working. Same code and same DB is working in php 5.4 machine.

Old encrypted company name

$name = 'atQ1tmBTVcLV8ieDFCx/+RxHxj1CWXXyPYbPI/Q0Cxqe2piMqA/w3ze88199DwfP1L6CFA1MSUWedwD1z0gMmw=='

$company_name = $this->encrypt->decode($name);

echo $company_name; //result - ¾Ôf–s÷nŽ^¨H‡éêÁOðq‹û'É>Åì¦Ô—

But it works for newly created company. What is the issue?

Answer 1

According to @Damien My project lib use $this->_xor_decode($string, $key); Not $this->mcrypt_encode($string, $key); . Because php 5.5 in Ubuntu 14.04 has some issue with mcrypt.

I had fix it from this command.

sudo cp /etc/php5/mods-available/mcrypt.ini /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/

sudo service apache2 restart
