i need to encrypt some data but i guess mcrypt library is not native in php right? is there a secure and native alternative?
obs: i created my own solution but the performance wasn't good =/

A:
There's a PHP library for Mcrypt. The documentation is here. It should already be installed. If it isn't there are instructions in the documentation on how to install it.

Why do you care? Is it too slow?

What do you mean by 'native'? The mcrypt library comes with PHP, but is not compiled directly into the interpreter. If you are looking for the "made by PHP" solution, then use the library. If you can't use the library for some reason, then you'll have to recompile PHP and include mcrypt.

@GregSand yes, it is VERY slow. about 20 times slower than mcrypt. and this with a very short string. the wasted time rises in a PG. not acceptable =p

A:
The only native solution is the native solutions :/ You have to compile PHP for it. Alternatively, you could write your own solution in C and use it as an extension. I'm pretty sure those are you only options.
