It appears that mcrypt_decrypt pads the *RETURN STRING* with nulls ('\0') to fill out to n * blocksize.  For old C-programmers, like myself, it is easy to believe the string ends at the first null.  In PHP it does not:



    strlen("abc\0\0") returns 5 and *NOT* 3

    strcmp("abc", "abc\0\0") returns -2 and *NOT* 0



I learned this lesson painfully when I passed a string returned from mycrypt_decrypt into a NuSoap message, which happily passed the nulls along to the receiver, who couldn't figure out what I was talking about.



My solution was:

<?php

    $retval = mcrypt_decrypt( ...etc ...);

    $retval = rtrim($retval, "\0");     // trim ONLY the nulls at the END

?>
