Using exactly the same input data, the following lines won't return the same decryption result :

php-4.0.6 / libmcrypt-2.2.7 :

mcrypt_ofb("MCRYPT_TripleDES",$realkey,$ct,MCRYPT_DECRYPT,$iv);

php-4.1.0 / libmcrypt-2.4.18 :

mcrypt_ofb(MCRYPT_TripleDES, $realkey, $ct, MCRYPT_DECRYPT, $iv);

I have data encrypted with libmcrypt-2.2.7 that I want to use with libmcrypt-2.4.18, but I can not !!!

Thanks in adance,

JF

It is possible a problem in libmcrypt itself . A lot has changed in there that my have broke backwrd compability. It's not a PHP bug, because nothing has changed regarding to this between php 4.0.6 and 4.1.0. I'm closing this one.

I first thought of a problem with libmcrypt itself...
According to its author, 3DES has not changed (see below).
I'll probably have to decrypt my data with php-4.0.6-libmcrypt-2.2.7 and re-encrypt it with php-4.0.6-libmcrypt-2.4.18... Grrreat  :-)
