   mcrypt_get_block_size -- Get the block size of the specified cipher

Description

   int mcrypt_get_block_size ( int cipher)
   int mcrypt_get_block_size ( string cipher, string module)

   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).

   This example shows how to use this function when linked against
   libmcrypt 2.4.x and 2.5.x.

   Example 1. mcrypt_get_block_size() example
   <?php
       echo mcrypt_get_block_size('tripledes', 'ecb');
   ?>
