README

VB Backports is a collection of tools we encountered while modernizing old VB5/6 projects We needed to port some of the code to PHP.

Installation

If you use Packagist for installing packages, then you can update your composer.json like this :

{
    "require": {
        "pgaultier/vbx-php": "*"
    }
}

Components backported

Rnd

The PRNG Rnd function available in VB5/6 is not available in PHP.

$vbRandomizer = new Rnd();

$vbRandomizer->rnd(-1);
$seed = 1500;
$vbRandomizer->randomize($seed);

$randomNumber = $vbRandomizer->rnd();

ClsEncrypt

Original VB code created by Michael Ciurescu (CVMichael from vbforums.com)

https://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?231798-VB-31-Bit-Encryption-function

$clsEncrypt = new ClsEncrypt();
$password = 'secret key';
$string = 'Hello World';

$encryptedBinaryString = $clsEncrypt->rndCryptLevel2($string, $password);

$decryptedString = $clsEncrypt->rndDecryptLevel2($encryptedBinaryString, $password);
// $decryptedString == 'Hello World'
