Laravel Helper Function: encrypt

By John Koster

encrypt($value)

The encrypt helper function can be used to encrypt a given $value. The function resolves the configured Illuminate\Contracts\Encryption\Encrypter implementation from the Service Container and then calls the encrypt method on the Encrypter instance.

The following examples are all equivalent:

1<?php

2

3use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Crypt;

4

5// Encrypt using the Crypt facade:

6Crypt::encrypt('Hello, Universe');

7

8// Encrypt using the encrypt helper:

9encrypt('Hello, Universe');
