For some reason this function (but not mcrypt_list_algorithms()) returns each element in the array twice. If you have this problem, try array_unique(mcrypt_list_algorithms()).
mcrypt_enc_get_algorithms_name
(PHP 4 >= 4.0.2, PHP 5, PHP 7 < 7.2.0, PECL mcrypt >= 1.0.0)
mcrypt_enc_get_algorithms_name — Returns the name of the opened algorithm
Warning
This function has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 7.1.0 and REMOVED as of PHP 7.2.0. Relying on this function is highly discouraged.
Description
