Workaround for the deprecated EncryptString and DecryptString methods

Shows how to replace the deprecated EncryptString and DecryptString methods. (Chilkat is moving away from the use of CkByteData.) PHP Extension

<?php

include("chilkat.php");

$success = false;

$crypt = new CkCrypt2();

$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 = false;

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

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

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

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

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

$bd = new CkBinData();
$bd->AppendString($plainText,'utf-8');

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

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