`pkcs5_pad` is not a standard function. Have you included it? — Artjom B., Apr 01 '16 at 14:28
i haven't included any function. i have just uncomment extension=php_mcrypt.dll in php.ini file and restarted xampp. can you please let me know the solution.. — bKashOST, Apr 01 '16 at 14:41
Well, where did you get the idea that `pkcs5_pad` exists in PHP/mcrypt? Perhaps you should revisit the code you copied this from and include the missing function. Anyway, you shouldn't use mcrypt nowadays. It's abandonware. You should use something like php-defuse. — Artjom B., Apr 01 '16 at 14:48
Thanks for suggestion. can you please give any link for tutorial??? — bKashOST, Apr 01 '16 at 14:56

You need to make sure that you have the mcrypt module installed, configured, and enabled before you can use the pkcs5_pad function. Installation and configuration will be different depending on your platform, so please see the documentation for assistance.
