kooktroop's example (09-Jul-2004) may be a bit misleading. Using a random IV for encryption, then another random IV for decryption? If you run it, it works!
That's because ECB doesn't use an IV. For modes that do use one you need the same one for encryption and decryption.
For example, Rijndael-256 (aka AES-256) and CFB:
<?php
$text = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.";
$key = "haseveryletter";
$iv = mcrypt_create_iv(mcrypt_get_iv_size(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, MCRYPT_MODE_CFB), MCRYPT_RAND);
$encrypted = mcrypt_encrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, $key, $text, MCRYPT_MODE_CFB, $iv);
// create a new IV
$newiv = mcrypt_create_iv(mcrypt_get_iv_size(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, MCRYPT_MODE_CFB), MCRYPT_RAND);
$corrupt = mcrypt_decrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, $key, $encrypted, MCRYPT_MODE_CFB, $newiv);
echo $corrupt; // [binary junk...]he lazy dog
$good = mcrypt_decrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, $key, $encrypted, MCRYPT_MODE_CFB, $iv);
echo $good; // The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
?>
Rijndael can sync up on each block so only the first one (here, 256 bits = 32 characters long) will be corrupted. Not necessarily true for other algorithms...
mcrypt_decrypt
(PHP 4 >= 4.0.2, PHP 5)
mcrypt_decrypt — 指定したパラメータで暗号化されたテキストを復号する
説明
string mcrypt_decrypt
( string $cipher
, string $key
, string $data
, string $mode
[, string $iv
] )
data を復号し、復号されたデータを返します。
パラメータ
- cipher
-
cipher には、アルゴリズム名を表す定数 MCRYPT_暗号名 の一つを文字列で指定します。
- key
-
key は、データを暗号化する際のキーです。 必要なキー長よりも短い場合には、'\0' で埋められます。
- data
-
data は、指定した暗号およびモードで復号 されます。データの大きさが n * blocksize でない場合、データは、 '\0' で埋められます。
- mode
-
mode には、"ecb", "cbc", "cfb", "ofb", "nofb" ,"stream" のどれかを用いて定数 MCRYPT_MODE_モード名を 指定します。
- iv
-
パラメータ IV は、CBC, CFB, OFB モードおよび STREAM モードのいくつかのアルゴリズムの初期化の際に使用されます。 アルゴリズムで必要とする IV を指定しない場合、この関数は警告を発生し、 全てのバイトを '\0' に設定した IV を使用します。
返り値
復号されたデータを文字列で返します。

I was wrong about ColdFusion always padding with EOT. By default, ColdFusion uses PKCS#5 padding. See the comments on http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ref.mcrypt.php for pkcs5_(un)pad functions

If you happen to be decrypting something encrypted in ColdFusion, you'll discover that its encrypt function apparently pads the plaintext with ASCII 4, the "end of transmission" character.
Building on eddiec's code, you can remove both nulls and EOTs with this:
<?php
$retval = mcrypt_decrypt( ...etc ...);
$retval = rtrim($retval, "\0\4"); // trim ONLY the nulls and EOTs at the END
?>

Since the returned data seems to be still padded with extra characters, you can get *only* the original data that was encrypted by str_replace()'ing the \x0 characters.
<?php
$decryptedData = str_replace("\x0", '', $encryptedData);
?>

It appears that mcrypt_decrypt pads the *RETURN STRING* with nulls ('\0') to fill out to n * blocksize. For old C-programmers, like myself, it is easy to believe the string ends at the first null. In PHP it does not:
strlen("abc\0\0") returns 5 and *NOT* 3
strcmp("abc", "abc\0\0") returns -2 and *NOT* 0
I learned this lesson painfully when I passed a string returned from mycrypt_decrypt into a NuSoap message, which happily passed the nulls along to the receiver, who couldn't figure out what I was talking about.
My solution was:
<?
$retval = mcrypt_decrypt( ...etc ...);
$retval = rtrim($retval, "\0"); // trim ONLY the nulls at the END
?>

Following on from the mcrypt_encrypt() example:
<?php
$text = "boggles the inivisble monkey will rule the world";
$key = "This is a very secret key";
$iv_size = mcrypt_get_iv_size(MCRYPT_XTEA, MCRYPT_MODE_ECB);
$iv = mcrypt_create_iv($iv_size, MCRYPT_RAND);
echo strlen($text) . "<br>";
$enc = mcrypt_encrypt(MCRYPT_XTEA, $key, $text, MCRYPT_MODE_ECB, $iv);
echo strlen($enc) . "<br>";
$iv = mcrypt_create_iv($iv_size, MCRYPT_RAND);
$key = "This is a very secret key";
$text = "Meet me at 11 o'clock behind the monument.";
echo strlen($text) . "<br>";
$crypttext = mcrypt_decrypt(MCRYPT_XTEA, $key, $enc, MCRYPT_MODE_ECB, $iv);
echo "$crypttext<br>";
?>
