mcrypt_generic_deinit

This function deinitializes an encryption module

Warning

This function has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 7.1.0. Relying on this function is highly discouraged.

Description

bool mcrypt_generic_deinit ( resource $td )

This function terminates encryption specified by the encryption descriptor (td). It clears all buffers, but does not close the module. You need to call mcrypt_module_close yourself. (But PHP does this for you at the end of the script.)

Parameters

td

The encryption descriptor.

Return Values

Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
