Wappler General How To

Yes, it should work with password, just as explained in the topic i posted.

It is the SHA encryption method + salt cannot be “decrypted” :slight_smile:

So the server is running PHP 7.0 or older as mcrypt is now depreciated?

#31

In this example is PHP 7.0 Brian. I’d have to go back and have a look on the other implementations (and possibly fix it for the client) as it has been a year or so. If it does not work it wouldn’t be hard to fix it. Quick search brings up lots of results:

#32

Just so you are aware, as mcrypt is depreciated after 7.0, the wappler encrypt/ decrypt with password, which uses it, generates a server error after php 7.0.

I have tested it in 7.1,7.2 and 7.3 so it may not be that simple

#33

Just seen you post, should work for those with dedicated servers and full access but not a universal wappler solution, we really need an open_ssl solution and keep up with the times

I’m already working on an update, I just found a way with openssl that is compatible with the old mcrypt encryption and going to replace it.

For who don’t want to wait and test the updated code. Replace the old file in dmxConnectLib/lib/formatters.

OK, couldn’t wait, tested up to php 7.3, works correctly. Haven’t been able to check against old data though as I don’t have anything old that used this component

Thank you Patrick!

Is there a chance this could be included in a future update of Wappler?

#41

Of course the fix will be included in the next update :slight_smile:

Can I just check? The data formatter in Server Connect for ‘Encrypt/Decrypt with password’ still talks about Mcrypt which isn’t available in PHP 7.2+. Is the description wrong, if so what method is used now? Or is there a different way of using this now?

#43

It uses openssl. The description is not up to date with the implementation :slight_smile:

The answer is in this post. When Mcrypt was depreciated in PHP 7.1 patrick was able to update it to a compatible openssl version which allowed for backwards compatibility for old sites but also
with PHP 7.1+

Thanks @JonL & @Hyperbytes,
I thought that was the case but the in-Wappler description still says MCrypt so wanted to check.
