How to set encryption key in config - beng - 03-29-2020
After reading the "Encryption Service" docs I cannot see a way to set the key as required e.g. using hex2bin();
In CI3 the config was just a variable in php file so I simply used:
PHP Code:
$key = hex2bin('[32 bytes string]')
However you can't do this in the .env file or in the Encryption config file as you cant set the "public $key = '';" property to the result of a function.
Surely this defeats the object of having $key in the config?
I would like to set the key once, application wide so am I missing something here?
Many thanks,
Ben
