mcrypt_get_block_size — Get the block size of the specified cipher
Descrierea
int mcrypt_get_block_size
( int $cipher
)
int mcrypt_get_block_size
( string $cipher
, string $module
)
The first prototype is when linked against libmcrypt 2.2.x, the second when linked against libmcrypt 2.4.x or 2.5.x.
mcrypt_get_block_size() is used to get the size of a block of the specified cipher (in combination with an encryption mode).
It is more useful to use the mcrypt_enc_get_block_size() function as this uses the resource returned by mcrypt_module_open().
This example shows how to use this function when linked against libmcrypt 2.4.x and 2.5.x.
Example #1 mcrypt_get_block_size() example
<?php
echo mcrypt_get_block_size('tripledes', 'ecb');
?>
Prints:
8
