Decrypt - PHPSECLIB

Question

I'm trying to decrypt a string using phpseclib.

My hashed string is being generated from a javascript library called jsencrypt. The result of the encryption is saved in a database.

Afterwards I'm using phpseclib3 to try and decrypt the string using this:

<?php
  require_once ("vendor/autoload.php"); // i used composer to install phpseclib

  use phpseclib3\Crypt\PublicKeyLoader;
  use phpseclib3\Crypt\RSA;

  $private_key = RSA::loadFormat('PKCS8', file_get_contents('key.pem'), $password = false);

  $key = PublicKeyLoader::load($private_key)->withHash('sha512/256')->withMGFHash('sha512/256');
  $hashed_string = base64_decode("...");
  echo $key->decrypt($hashed_string);

?>

But when I run the code I get the following error:

Fatal error: Uncaught LengthException: Ciphertext representative too long in /vendor/phpseclib/phpseclib/phpseclib/Crypt/RSA/PrivateKey.php:389

I've also tried decrypting the string using openssl_decrypt with no luck:

$privateKey = '-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
PRIVATE KEY HERE...
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----';

$encrypt_method = "AES-256-CBC";

$plain_text = openssl_decrypt('...', $encrypt_method, $privateKey, 0);

echo $plain_text;

Does anyone know how I can go about decrypting the hashed string?

You need to use PKCS1 padding. eg.

<?php
  require_once ("vendor/autoload.php"); // i used composer to install phpseclib

  use phpseclib3\Crypt\PublicKeyLoader;

  $key = PublicKeyLoader::load(file_get_contents('key.pem'))->withPadding(RSA::ENCRYPTION_PKCS1);

  $hashed_string = base64_decode("...");
  echo $key->decrypt($hashed_string);

?>

Using a key generated from http://travistidwell.com/jsencrypt/demo/ :

$key = PublicKeyLoader::load('-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
