The size of the initialization vector (iv) will be returned in bytes NOT bits, something to keep in mind specially if the iv is passed together appended or prepended with the encrypted data for decryption

mcrypt_get_iv_size — Returns the size of the IV belonging to a specific cipher/mode combination
Această funcție a fost ÎNVECHITĂ începând cu PHP 7.1.0 și ELIMINATĂ începând cu PHP 7.2.0. Utilizarea acestei funcții este foarte nerecomandată.
$cipher
, string $mode
) : int
Gets the size of the IV belonging to a specific
cipher
/mode
combination.
It is more useful to use the mcrypt_enc_get_iv_size() function as this uses the resource returned by mcrypt_module_open().
cipher
Una din constantele MCRYPT_ciphername
sau denumirea algoritmului ca șir de caractere.
mode
Una din constantele MCRYPT_MODE_modename
sau unul din
șirurile de caractere: "ecb", "cbc", "cfb", "ofb", "nofb" sau "stream".
The IV is ignored in ECB mode as this mode does not require it. You will need to have the same IV (think: starting point) both at encryption and decryption stages, otherwise your encryption will fail.
Returns the size of the Initialization Vector (IV) in bytes. On error the
function returns false
. If the IV is ignored in the specified cipher/mode
combination zero is returned.
Example #1 mcrypt_get_iv_size() Example
<?php
echo mcrypt_get_iv_size(MCRYPT_CAST_256, MCRYPT_MODE_CFB) . "\n";
echo mcrypt_get_iv_size('des', 'ecb') . "\n";
?>
The size of the initialization vector (iv) will be returned in bytes NOT bits, something to keep in mind specially if the iv is passed together appended or prepended with the encrypted data for decryption
