laravel-openssl-encryption

Laravel 4 encryption package that uses the PHP openssl extension.

It can replace the default Laravel 4 encryption core package that uses the PHP mcrypt extension.

It has been created to run Laravel 4 apps on the Google App Engine for PHP platform that currently (may 2013) does not support the mcrypt extension.

Installation

Add the anotherzero/laravel-openssl-encryption package to your composer.json file.

"require": {
	"laravel/framework": "4.0.*",
	"anotherzero/laravel-openssl-encryption-4x": "1.0.*"
},

Install the package.

$ php composer.phar install

In the app/config/app.php file, register the LaravelOpensslEncryptionServiceProvider and comment the default EncryptionServiceProvider.

'providers' => array(

	...
	//'Illuminate\Encryption\EncryptionServiceProvider',
	'Neoxia\LaravelOpensslEncryption\LaravelOpensslEncryptionServiceProvider',
	...

One more thing ...

Currently, Laravel 4 checks if the PHP mcrypt extension is loaded and die if it is not !
So, to complete the installation, we have to bypass this check. Add the following code to your composer.json file to let the post-install-cmd handle this:

"scripts": {
	"post-install-cmd": [
		"sed -i.bak 's/MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_128/null/' vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Encryption/Encrypter.php",
		"sed -i.bak 's/MCRYPT_MODE_CBC/null/' vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Encryption/Encrypter.php",
		"sed -i.bak 's/echo/\\/\\/echo/' vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/start.php",
		"sed -i.bak 's/exit/\\/\\/exit/' vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/start.php",
		"php artisan optimize"
	],
	...
},
