Hi Javier,

Archive email consists of a Review URL which holds encrypted data, TB encrypts this order data using PHP MCrypt library which was delivered with the old PHP packages, but recent PHP doesn't provide this library by default. So, you have to install this PHP MCrypt library manually on your server-side, you just have to inform your server administrator, they should do it for you.

We will investigate if we can change this library, if we find anything better, we will replace the encryption engine in TB later version.

Thanks & Regards
Ronniee

My system administrator replied that the PHP MCrypt library is indeed installed.. What is the next step?

Hi,

Kind regards.

My apologies for taking so long to respond. Our work hours have been affected by current events.
I keep getting the error in the screenshot when I visit the site after a couple of days .. I just got it again.

As I said, our server administrator assured me that the Mcrypt extension is installed.. But he just told me that its deprecated for php versions after PHP 7.0, so its seems that I would have to use a lesser version of PHP for the issue to be solved.

I'm requesting some guidance to circumvent the usage of the Mcrypt extension.

1 I see in classes/security.php you have encrypt and decrypt functions that use Mcrypt

2 I see in helpers/common.php you have 3 crypt/decrypt functions that use Mcrypt

3 i see in classes/booking.helper.php that sendOrderArchiveEmail($row_queue, $elsettings) calls the security class and uses the encrypt method..

• I see that it sends data to https://drivenot.com/review-form..
  Why would this load and give error only after not visiting the site for days??
  Why does it load at all if not in the process of leaving review..

I have a personal encrypting / decryption function below ..

Can I substitute the current ones with the functions below so that it doesn't use the deprecated core function? ..
of course adjusting it to keep intact the parameters that the original functions receive so that I dont have to change it everywhere. meaning only using whats necesary in the current parameters to return an encrypted or decrypted string

$string = "string to be encrypted or decrypted"
$action = encrypt/decrypt

function   customcrypt($string, $secret_key = 'secret_key', $secret_iv = 'secret_iv', $action = 'e')
	{
		$secret_key = $secret_key;
		$secret_iv = $secret_iv;
		$output = false;
		$encrypt_method = "AES-256-CBC";
		$key = hash('sha256', $secret_key);
		$iv = substr(hash('sha256', $secret_iv) , 0, 16);
		if ($action == 'e') {
			$output = base64_encode(openssl_encrypt($string, $encrypt_method, $key, 0, $iv));
		}
		else
		if ($action == 'd') {
			$output = openssl_decrypt(base64_decode($string) , $encrypt_method, $key, 0, $iv);
		}
		return $output;
	}

its imperative for PHP 7.3 support of this component..

Hi Javier,

I have tested the encrypt/decrypt method suggested by you, it seems working as expected. Actually, OpenSSL is the best alternative for Mcrypt so far for PHP 7+. We were thinking to implement that, but couldn't manage time. We will implement OpenSSL in our next release, there will be a major overhaul and we have to test extensively for PHP 5 also so that our PHP 5 customers don't get any problem.

Thanks & Regards

Ok..
2 questions... is the update a fix of the OpenSSL encrypt/decrypt method issue ?
if it is... is it similar to the method I suggested? what I what to know if its one of those "life or death" updates.. because if its only the encryption method fix .. then we dont really need it

in the current circumstances we are passing I have to give my boss a good reason to spend $20.00 on a script.. . imagine $99.00 .

thank you for the reply .. have a good weekend
