I need to obfuscate or encrypt some plain text data in my php 5.2 application. I'd prefer a solution that would have input string and output string retain the same length.

Passing in a regular string however doesn't end well. If passed in the '°' character a question mark takes up it's spot. How can I go and debug this? Is it the com wrapper not reco...
