Christoph Michael Becker 1c08f29ab7 Mcrypt is deprecated as of PHP 7.1.0
The original patch has been provided by Leigh. I made some minor improvements.

The maximum length of the key should be the one obtained by calling

than this is legal.

<listitem>
<para>
The IV should normally have the size of the algorithms block size, but
you must obtain the size by calling
<function>mcrypt_enc_get_iv_size</function>. IV is ignored in ECB. IV
MUST exist in CFB, CBC, STREAM, nOFB and OFB modes. It needs to be
random and unique (but not secret). The same IV must be used for
encryption/decryption. If you do not want to use it you should set it
to zeros, but this is not recommended.

<para>
The function returns a negative value on error: -3 when the key length
was incorrect, -4 when there was a memory allocation problem and any
other return value is an unknown error. If an error occurs a warning will
be displayed accordingly. &false; is returned if incorrect parameters
were passed.
