PHP 7.2 MCRYPT_BLOWFISH replacement?

Question

I’m using

mcrypt_decrypt(MCRYPT_BLOWFISH...

I’ve upgraded to PHP 7.2 and mcrypt is now removed. Is there a drop in replacement?

I don’t think this is a duplicate since I was asking specifically about the MCRYPT_BLOWFISH algorithm. Note my answer has the details to replace this, not another algorithm. — Josh Petitt, Dec 28 '17 at 20:16
@JoshPetitt True. I edited that one out and replaced them with two other ones. A Google search for "alternative to mcrypt_decrypt php 7" produced both of those. — Funk Forty Niner, Dec 28 '17 at 20:20
@Sammitch Please read the question carefully before choosing a duplicate. I had to edit it. See my above to Josh. — Funk Forty Niner, Dec 28 '17 at 20:21
I wasn't marking as a dupe, I posted the link as its relevant since the accepted answer mentions libsodium and Defuse Which I believe are the PHP 7+ alternatives to mcrypt. — Dave Carruthers, Dec 28 '17 at 20:35
@DaveCarruthers We weren't questioning yours Dave, but the one that Sammitch chose as the duplicate originally used to hammer the question. Your link however was a good one though. — Funk Forty Niner, Dec 28 '17 at 21:27

This seems to work

openssl_decrypt($data, 'BF-ECB', $key, OPENSSL_RAW_DATA | OPENSSL_NO_PADDING)

`‘BF-ECB’` - Actually, those curly quotes will produce a parse error. They should be regular quotes `'BF-ECB'`, *just saying* and for future visitors to the question/answer. – Funk Forty Niner Dec 28 '17 at 19:53
Sorry I typed on my phone, feel free to update, or I will tonight – Josh Petitt Dec 28 '17 at 20:14
No worries Josh; I edited it. – Funk Forty Niner Dec 28 '17 at 20:15
