Fail Encryption Helper

[eluser]vijinho[/eluser]
This is a simple helper I wrote that uses the CI encryption library to encrypt/decrypt strings and arrays. Save it as encryption in application/helpers.

Example to encrypt and decrypt a string with a given key:

Code:

$this->load->helper('encryption');
$encrypted = fail_encrypt('some text', 'mysecretkey');
$text = fail_decrypt($encrypted, 'mysecretkey');
echo("$text");

The following _array versions take an indexed array as the first parameter and only encrypt/decrypt the array keys of $data that match the values in $keys.

e.g.

Code:

// some data with some values to encrypt
$data = array(
    'name' => 'Sheikh Ahmed',
    'age' => 64,
    'password' => 'fail',
    'secret' => 'www.failme.net'    
);

// encrypt the keys in $data that match these values
$keys = array('password', 'secret');

// use this key of encryption
$ekey = 'fail';

fail_encrypt_array($data, $keys, $ekey);
// show encrypted array
var_dump($data);

// decrypt the encrypted array
fail_decrypt_array($data, $keys, $ekey)
var_dump($data);

The helper code:
