In node.js, I use the build in function to encrypt data like that:

var text = "Yes";
var password = "123456";
var encrypt = crypto.createCipher('aes-256-cbc', password);
var encryptOutput1 = encrypt.update(text, 'base64', 'base64');
var encryptOutput2 = encrypt.final('base64');
var encryptedText = encryptOutput1 + encryptOutput2;

the output (encrypted text) is: OnNINwXf6U8XmlgKJj48iA==

Then I use decrypt it in PHP:

$encrypted = 'OnNINwXf6U8XmlgKJj48iA==';
(or $encrypted = base64_decode('OnNINwXf6U8XmlgKJj48iA==')  );
$dtext2 = mcrypt_decrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, $key, $encrypted, MCRYPT_MODE_CBC);
echo "Decrypted: $dtext2";

I will get some funny characters, which I can't decrypted it. I tried with/without base64_decode or MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_128.. all fail.

Then I check how the encryption in PHP, it looks very different from the output from node.js.

$text = "Yes";
    $key = "123456"; 


    $eText = mcrypt_encrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, $key, $text, MCRYPT_MODE_CBC);
    echo "Encrypted: $eText \n";
    echo "base64: " . base64_encode($eText) . " \n";

    $dtext1 = mcrypt_decrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, $key, $eText, MCRYPT_MODE_CBC);
    echo "Decrypted: $dtext1 \n\n";

It can encrypt and decrypt. and the encrypted data is : njCE/fk3pLD1/JfiQuyVa6w5H+Qb/utBIT3m7LAcetM=

which is very different from the output from node.js please advise how I can encrypt and decrypt between node.js & php. thanks. :)


@Mel here is what I have in PHP:

$text = "Yes";

$key = "32BytesLongKey560123456789ABCDEF"; 
$iv =  "sixteenbyteslong";

/* Open the cipher */
$td = mcrypt_module_open(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_128, '', MCRYPT_MODE_CBC, '');

/* Intialize encryption */
mcrypt_generic_init($td, $key, $iv);

/* Encrypt data */
$eText = mcrypt_generic($td, $text);

echo "Encrypted Data: $eText \n";
echo "base64: " . base64_encode($eText) . " \
