I'm owlstead from StackOverflow.

I understand that Crypt:: is just a frontend for mcrypt but I cannot even find documentation on the input/output of the various functions in Crypt::. Could you please create proper documentation for them?

Side note: you are using the c mcrypt library underneath, which has not been maintained since 2007 or so. The mcrypt PHP library does not keep to good cryptographic practices, allowing invalid keys and not implementing PKCS#7 padding (thanks for warning the users about the key sizes though).
