General encryption / decryption functions

On my Fedora Core 2 Linux dev box, I have installed mcrypt and
compiled PHP with the --with-mcrypt option. I am concerned that when
I move to another hosting enviornment mcrypt will not be supported.
In people's experiences, have hosting companies supporting PHP/MySQL
generally provided support for mcrypt?

Does anyone recommend another module for encryption/decryption that
accompanies the PHP package?

Thanks, - Dave

I don’t know the answer to your question, but if you move to another
host, you can always look at VDS- virtual dedicated server, where you
can do your own compiling. VDS is getting cheap these days, and if
you need it, it would be worth the price IMHO. It maybe a lot cheaper
than spending days implementing something new IMHO.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
