XAMPP and mcrypt

Hi all,
I installed PHP thru the XAMPP package on my windows machine.

The problem, I couldn't solve, is that the mcryppt funcs don't work.
It return the following message:
Call to undefined function mcrypt_decrypt( ) ...

If I write a
<?php
echo ***";
echo function_exists ("mcrypt_decryp t");
echo function_exists ("mcrypt_encryp t");
echo "***";
?>
it return nothing between the six asterisks.

I downloaded the libmcrypt.dll and copied it under c:\windows\syst em32
and erased the ";" in the extension=php_m crypt.dll line.

But it still doesn't work.

Anyone could help me?

Thank you

I don't use Windows, let alone XAMPP, but my first-blink question upon
reading this is ...
"libcrypt.d ll" or "php_mcrypt.dll ?" Which one is it supposed to be?

It's a good observation, I didn't noticed it. :-)

Anyway, since, after the installation, it didn't work, I followed the
instructions found on the php.net site
(http://it2.php.net/manual/it/ref.mcrypt.php)

So I downloaded the DLL at http://ftp.emini.dk/pub/php/win32/mcrypt/
and followed the instruction in the README.txt
http://ftp.emini.dk/pub/php/win32/mcrypt/README.txt

The extension_dir, as distributed by XAMPP, there is actually a
php_mcrypt.dll file.

I can interpret it this way.
In the php_mcrypt.dll there the functions I can use in my PHP code,
while in the libcrypt.dll there are the crypt algorytms.

Problem solved!

I modified the php.ini in the \apachefriends\ xampp\php directory while
I had to modify the one contained in \apachefriends\ xampp\apache\bi n.

Thank you everybody and excuse me if it was a silly problem.

Bye

Hi, I'm getting some strange errors that I cannot pin down: Warning: mcrypt_generic_init(): Iv size incorrect; supplied length: 7, needed: 8 in...... This is strange because the data is encrypted, inserted into the databse, then later retrieved and decrypted with the necessary hash and ivector keys.

Long story short. I want to use Mac OS/X and PHP. I have a db with passwords stored under Linux using the crypt("foo", "$1$".$salt."$); scheme. This means that crypt should execute a CRYPT_MD5 password hash. I know that Mac OS/X only supports the two DES'.
