Alternative to mcrypt_encrypt?

Question

As per the php 7.0 mcrypt_decrypt is deprecated.

I have following code.

$intSize= mcrypt_get_iv_size( MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, MCRYPT_MODE_ECB ); $strSize = mcrypt_create_iv( $intSize, MCRYPT_RAND ); $strText = ( true == $boolTrimText ) ? trim( $strText ) : $strText; $strResult = base64_encode( mcrypt_encrypt( MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, ( string ) $strKey, ( string ) $strText, MCRYPT_MODE_ECB, $strSize) );

Now we are getting

mcrypt_encrypt(): Key of size 0 not supported by this algorithm. Only keys of sizes 16, 24 or 32 supported

Any alternative to fix this warning?

Use String length 16 or 24 or 32 for variable $strKey

$strKey = 'YOUR_STRING'; #This string length should be 16 or 24 or 32

Example :

$strKey = '1234567890abcdef'; #Length 16 $strKey = '1234567890abcdef76hgfrdg'; #Length 24 $strKey = '1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef'; #Length 32
