use chilkat();

$success = 0;

$crypt = chilkat::CkCrypt2->new();

$crypt->put_CryptAlgorithm("aes");
$crypt->put_CipherMode("cbc");
$crypt->put_KeyLength(128);
$crypt->put_PaddingScheme(0);
$crypt->SetEncodedKey("000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F","hex");
$crypt->SetEncodedIV("000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F","hex");

$success = 0;

$crypt->put_Charset("utf-8");
$plainText = "text to be encrypted";

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The EncryptString and DecryptString methods are deprecated:

$encryptedBytes = chilkat::CkByteData->new();
$success = $crypt->EncryptString($plainText,$encryptedBytes);

$decryptedStr = $crypt->decryptString($encryptedBytes);
print "Decrypted: " . $decryptedStr . "\r\n";

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Replace the above CkByteData usage with the following code:
# (Chilkat is moving away from using CkByteData)

$bd = chilkat::CkBinData->new();
$bd->AppendString($plainText,"utf-8");

# in-place encrypt
$crypt->EncryptBd($bd);

# in-place decrypt
$crypt->DecryptBd($bd);
$decryptedStr = $bd->getString("utf-8");
print "Decrypted: " . $decryptedStr . "\r\n";
