Description:
------------
When attempting to encrypt a JSON encoded string using a secret key, I get inconsistent results depending on the data and the key I used. I have managed to recreate this and believe it is an issue with the mcrypt module.  

The JSON string is 303 characters in length, and simply by changing on character from a 6 to a 7, it fixes the problem. I have included a URL for reproducing this error

Reproduce code:
---------------
http://78.137.160.50/fcl/bug.txt

Please note in the above code I have given two example strings. The first does not work (and is a reproduction of this bug), the second does. They are identical strings except for the character at position 297. I changed the 6 to a 7 and it fixes the problem

Expected result:
----------------
I expect to see a decrypted value of the string.

Actual result:
--------------
I see 99% of the string has been decrypted however the last few characters are corrupt.

I can reproduce it on Linux.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

You are cutting off data while decrypting in same cases because you trip and chop data in:

$input = trim(chop(base64_decode($input)));

This could remove bytes that the decryption requires.
