mcrypt is deprecated in PHP 7

[zackkrida]

In the Quickbooks/Aes.php file you are using mcrypt for encryption.

https://github.com/consolibyte/quickbooks-php/blob/master/QuickBooks/Encryption/Aes.php#L34

Mcrypthas been deprecated in PHP 7.1 in favor of openSSL.

OSX users working locally may want to brew install php71-mcrypt.
On Ubuntu you'll want to sudo apt-get install php7.1-mcrypt
Or via yum with yum install php71-php-mcrypt

Is there a way to ignore the warnings then? I get this:

Function mcrypt_module_open() is deprecated

It looks like warnings are turned on STRICT all through this library.

[nateajohnson]

I added this to the top of the file I am calling and it seems to work:

error_reporting(E_ALL &~ E_DEPRECATED);

That said, once PHP removed mcrypt support, this library will stop working.

mcrypt is deprecated in 7.1
you should add a dependency for this in composer.json to meet PHP < 7.1

Was this issue ever solved in a patch or something?

Going to bump this. I ran in to this error today. Trying to run on my Docker installation, and mcrypt is deprecated from php7.1, and completely removed in php7.2.

While mcrypt was removed from PHP 7.2 it can still be installed via PECL. Not a long term solution though. I have no idea what is involved with adding openssl support to this framework but I suspect its not trivial since it would need to support both mcrypt and openssl. Otherwise, only supporting openssl would break current installations.

I'm wondering if anyone using this package with php 7.2 has tried phpseclib's mcrypt shim instead of installing mcrypt. It seems like it should work as it supports Rijndael 256; thoughts?

[bryonbean]

Sorry, I didn't see this in the README of phpseclib's mcrypt shim:

Although nofb is supported ofb is not.

The file mentioned in the OP uses ofb, though it may be trivial to switch to nofb? Not sure.

[amirshawn]

I'm curious if anyone has figured out a good way to get around this without editing any of the package files?

[gsalmon]

BUMP.
Heres a workaround: http://www.netsuite.com

Any update on this?

The mcrypt installed via PECL on PHP 7.2 works, but I have tons of warnings. Not sure if PECL would save the day on PHP 7.3 or later.

[consolibyte]

We'll be making some updates here soon (we generally follow Debian stable releases, so because Debian hasn't had PHP 7.2 yet -- they will in July) we haven't made updates here yet.

#228

As I'm not using this library anymore I'd like to close it and direct folks to the other relevant issue #228. Thanks all!
