 /**
  * Treat consecutive "packets" as if they are a continuous buffer.
  *
  * Say you have a 16-byte plaintext $plaintext. Using the default behavior, the two following code snippets
  * will yield different outputs:
  *
  * <code>
  * echo $rc4->encrypt(substr($plaintext, 0, 8));
  * echo $rc4->encrypt(substr($plaintext, 8, 8));
  * </code>
  * <code>
  * echo $rc4->encrypt($plaintext);
  * </code>
  *
  * The solution is to enable the continuous buffer. Although this will resolve the above discrepancy, it creates
  * another, as demonstrated with the following:
  *
  * <code>
  * $rc4->encrypt(substr($plaintext, 0, 8));
  * echo $rc4->decrypt($des->encrypt(substr($plaintext, 8, 8)));
  * </code>
  * <code>
  * echo $rc4->decrypt($des->encrypt(substr($plaintext, 8, 8)));
  * </code>
  *
  * With the continuous buffer disabled, these would yield the same output. With it enabled, they yield different
  * outputs. The reason is due to the fact that the initialization vector's change after every encryption /
  * decryption round when the continuous buffer is enabled. When it's disabled, they remain constant.
  *
  * Put another way, when the continuous buffer is enabled, the state of the Crypt_DES() object changes after each
  * encryption / decryption round, whereas otherwise, it'd remain constant. For this reason, it's recommended that
  * continuous buffers not be used. They do offer better security and are, in fact, sometimes required (SSH uses them),
  * however, they are also less intuitive and more likely to cause you problems.

Usage:


include('class.rc4crypt.php');
$rc4 = new Crypt_RC4();
$rc4 -> setKey('21sd54a1w5q');
$text = 'www.ofstack.com';
echo $x = $rc4->encrypt($text);// Encryption 
echo '<br />';
echo $rc4->decrypt( $x) ;// Decryption
