PHP 7.2 Mcrypt

wedu_bryan

It appears that on PHP 7.2 Mcrypt has been removed.

It looks like CI 3 has two options, mcrypt and openssl. This is done through codeigniter > libraries > Encryption.php

but I believe Fuel CMS is using the deprecated Encrypt.php class , see https://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/libraries/encrypt.html

and

https://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/libraries/encryption.html

Is is possible to set Fuel CMS to use the newer encryption library and take advantage of the openssl encryption option when mcrypt is not available?

FUEL should be using the newer encryption library already. Where are you seeing issues with it using encrypt? Also, note that there is a branch on GitHub for 7.2 that we are working on addressing specific issues with 7.2.

The php7.2 branch on Github seems to fix things for most of my sites.
I came across outstanding problems with ./modules/fuel/libraries/Menu.php yesterday but didn't have time to look into fixing the source, I just applied a work-around. It was the issues over count() that's been fixed in other locations.

Do you know what line number the error was on and what was your work-around?
