Crypt.Decrypt return empty string on my Linux hosting

Hi,

This is my first post tode this forum and I'm new to Phalcon. I have problem with Crypt->Decrypt, it always return an empty string, I don't know why. This happen on my Linux hosting, but in my local windows this working.

Please anyone help me.

Thanks, Sonny

This below my test code:

<?php
$cryptPhalcon = new \Phalcon\Crypt();

$text = 'Phalcon Crypto';
$key = 'The cake is a lie!';

$encrypt = $cryptPhalcon->encryptBase64($text, $key);
$decrypt = trim($cryptPhalcon->decryptBase64($encrypt, $key));

var_dump($text);
echo '<br> ------------------------- ENCRYPT PHALCON--------------------- <br>';
var_dump($encrypt);
echo '<br> ------------------------- DECRYPT PHALCON (always return empty)--------------------- <br>';
var_dump($decrypt);
echo '<br>';

var_dump($decrypt == $text);

//die();
