encrypt array in php

Question

Does anyone know do there have any way that I can encrypt the array in php??

for example:

$arr_value = array("1","2","3","4");

any way that I can encrypt $arr_value, also decrypt it later ini php?

Answer 1

First, see this please.

You can encrypt/decrypt something like this:

$arr_value = array("1","2","3","4");

function encrypt($text)
{
   return base64_encode($text);
}

function decrypt($text)
{
   return base64_decode($text);
}

Now to encrypt:

$encrypted = array_map("encrypt", $arr_value);
echo '<pre>';
print_r($encrypted);

And to decrypt:

$decrypted = array_map("decrypt", $arr_value);
echo '<pre>';
print_r($decrypted);

.

Note:

It is worth having a look at a better way of encryption library:

The mcrypt library.

Answer 2

You might enjoy a look at mcrypt. I'm not sure where you're storing the encrypted values, or what cipher you want to use. mcrypt should let you accomplish whatever you need.

Examples are here.

Answer 3

if you encrypt/decrypt string then use .

$str_value = $arr_value.join(",");

encrypt/decrypt $str_value

$arr_value=$str_value.split(",")
