mcrypt_get_key_size — Gets the key size of the specified cipher
This function has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 7.1.0. Relying on this function is highly discouraged.
Description
$cipher
) : int$cipher
, string $mode
) : intThe 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_key_size() is used to get the size
of a key of the specified cipher
(in
combination with an encryption mode).
It is more useful to use the mcrypt_enc_get_key_size() function as this uses the resource returned by mcrypt_module_open().
Parameters
-
cipher
-
One of the
MCRYPT_ciphername
constants, or the name of the algorithm as string. -
mode
-
One of the
MCRYPT_MODE_modename
constants, or one of the following strings: "ecb", "cbc", "cfb", "ofb", "nofb" or "stream".
Examples
Example #1 mcrypt_get_key_size() Example
<?php
echo mcrypt_get_key_size('tripledes', 'ecb');
?>
The example above shows how to use this function when linked against libmcrypt 2.4.x or 2.5.x.
The above example will output:
24
