Encryption output - falcon812311 - 08-20-2020
Hello guys!
I have problem with CI4 encryption and decryption...
The problem is from encryption method it is show strange output.
Sample Output:
http://prnt.sc/u2vmwi
My Setting in .env:
PHP Code:
encryption.key = 'thisismykey'
encryption.driver = OpenSSL
My code:
PHP Code:
$encrypter = \Config\Services::encrypter();
$plainText = 'This is a plain-text message!';
$ciphertext = $encrypter->encrypt($plainText);
echo $ciphertext;
I hope someone can help me about the output from encryption.
Btw, CodeIgniter framework is awesome!

The output of encrypt is a binary string. So it will render on your screen strangely. You should encode it using either bin2hex or base64_encode before echoing.
