Advertencia

Esta función ha sido declarada OBSOLETA a partir de PHP 7.1.0 y será ELIMINADA a partir de PHP 7.2.0. Su uso está totalmente desaconsejado.

mcrypt_get_block_size(int$cipher): int|false

mcrypt_get_block_size(string$cipher, string$mode): int|false

The first prototype is when linked against libmcrypt 2.2.x, the second when linked against libmcrypt 2.4.x or 2.5.x.

mcrypt_get_block_size() is used to get the size of a block of the specified cipher (in combination with an encryption mode).

It is more useful to use the mcrypt_enc_get_block_size() function as this uses the resource returned by mcrypt_module_open().

cipher: Una de las constantes MCRYPT_nombredelcifrado, o el nombre del algoritmo como string.
mode: Una de las constantes MCRYPT_MODE_nombredelmodo, o una de las siguientes strings: "ecb", "cbc", "cfb", "ofb", "nofb" o "stream".

Returns the algorithm block size in bytes o false en caso de error.
