  <para>
   <function>mcrypt_encrypt</function> encrypts the data
   and returns the encrypted data.
  </para>
  <para>
   <parameter>Cipher</parameter> is one of the MCRYPT_ciphername
   constants of the name of the algorithm as string.
  </para>
  <para>
   <parameter>Key</parameter> is the key with which the data
   will be encrypted. If it's smaller that the required keysize, it
   is padded with '<literal>\0</literal>'. It is better not to use ASCII strings for
   keys. It is recommended to use the mhash functions to create a key
   from a string.
  </para>
  <para>
   <parameter>Data</parameter> is the data that will be encrypted
   with the given cipher and mode. If the size of the data is not
   n * blocksize, the data will be padded with '<literal>\0</literal>'. The returned
   crypttext can be larger that the size of the data that is given
   by <parameter>data</parameter>.
  </para>
  <para>
   <parameter>Mode</parameter> is one of the MCRYPT_MODE_modename
   constants of one of "ecb", "cbc", "cfb", "ofb", "nofb" or
   "stream".
  </para>
  <para>
   The <parameter>IV</parameter> parameter is used for the
   initialisation in CBC, CFB, OFB modes, and in some algorithms
   in STREAM mode. If you do not supply an IV, while it is needed
   for an algorithm, the function issues a warning and uses an
   IV with all bytes set to '<literal>\0</literal>'.
