note 98176 modified in mcrypt.examples by visualmind

The code from "jizz" is pretty helpful, though I found the $last_char logic to be insufficient. The following function is working great for me to decrypt 3DES strings from .NET.

<?php
function decrypt($password) {
   $key = 'some key';
   $iv = 'some iv';

   $cipher = mcrypt_module_open(MCRYPT_TRIPLEDES,'','cbc','');
   mcrypt_generic_init($cipher, $key, $iv);
   $decrypted = mdecrypt_generic($cipher,$bytes);
   mcrypt_generic_deinit($cipher);

   for($i=0; $i < strlen($decrypted); $i++) {
       if(ord($decrypted[$i]) <= 8) {
           $decrypted = substr($decrypted, 0, $i);
           break;
       }
   }

   return $decrypted;
}
?>
