Mcrypt - problem encrypting special characters

[neil@invidion.co.uk]

Hi,

I'm not sure whether this is a known or documented issue (I could'nt
turn anything up, but maybe I'm not looking hard enough), but I seem to
be have a problem encrypting and decrypting entries with special
characters - namely the '@' symbol.

For example I can encrypt and decrypt a name or an address - however,
if I try this with an email address that contains the '@' symbol, such
as:

nobody@nobody.c om

what I get when I decrypt this is:

n

Just the first letter of the entry.

I have been using the GOST cipher, so I'm wondering if it is related to
this cipher, or whether there is a problem with special characters in
general.


Thanks
Neil.

Never used that one, Neil. Where did you get the script? Did you try asking there?

This is not a third-party script - I'm just using the inbuilt PHP
functions and supported ciphers.

OK, I haven't use the GOST cipher before, but haven't had any problems with the
encryption/decryption functions.

Can you post your code?
