openssl_get_privatekey breaks output

[Alex]

Hi,

I have a weird problem using openssl_get_privatekey. I use this
function to decrypt some records from a database. The first two get
decrypted fine, but at the third function call, openssl_get_privatekey
returns false and the script stops outputting, with this error string:

error:0407106B:rsa routines:RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_2:block type
is not 02

I use PHP 4.2.3 with openssl 0.9.6e

Any ideas?

Alex

For the records and because I hate finding messages with no answer:
this problem was caused by the transfer to the database. I suspect
some magic quotes or whatever to have altered the data. Therefore
decryption failed and caused this error.

Solution: use base64_encode($encrypted_data) before putting the data
into the db and base64_decode before decrypting.
