<para>
This function opens the module of the algorithm and the mode to be used.
The name of the algorithm is specified in algorithm, e.g. "twofish" or is
one of the MCRYPT_ciphername constants. The module is closed by calling
<function>mcrypt_module_close</function>. Normally it returns an
encryption descriptor, or &false; on error.
</para>
<para>
The <parameter>algorithm_directory</parameter> and
<parameter>mode_directory</parameter> are used to locate the encryption
modules. When you supply a directory name, it is used. When you set one
of these to the empty string (""), the value set by the
<parameter>mcrypt.algorithms_dir</parameter> or
<parameter>mcrypt.modes_dir</parameter> ini-directive is used. When
these are not set, the default directories that are used are the ones
that were compiled in into libmcrypt (usually /usr/local/lib/libmcrypt).

?>

</example>
</para>
<para>
The first line in the example above will try to open the DES cipher from
the default directory and the EBC mode from the directory
<filename>/usr/lib/mcrypt-modes</filename>. The second example uses
strings as name for the cipher and mode, this only works when the
extension is linked against libmcrypt 2.4.x or 2.5.x.
