I would like to use a salt that has more than 24 characters with mcrypt.
mcrypt_encrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, $salt, $text, MCRYPT_MODE_ECB, mcrypt_create_iv(mcrypt_get_iv_size(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, MCRYPT_MODE_ECB), MCRYPT_RAND));
However if I make $salt greater than 24 characters it throws this warning and uses a truncated salt at 24 characters:
Warning: mcrypt_encrypt() [function.mcrypt-encrypt]: Size of key is too large for this algorithm
Is there any way to get around this?
24 is the limit of this alorithm. Chars over 24 characters isn’t used. But you can always trasnform your salt.
