PHP AES encryption PKCS5Padding

The following example for PKCS5Padding comes from the comments to the mcrypt docs.

<?php 

function encrypt_something($input) 
{ 
    $size = mcrypt_get_block_size('des', 'ecb'); 
    $input = pkcs5_pad($input, $size); 

    $key = 'YOUR SECRET KEY HERE'; 
    $td = mcrypt_module_open('des', '', 'ecb', ''); 
    $iv = mcrypt_create_iv (mcrypt_enc_get_iv_size($td), MCRYPT_RAND); 
    mcrypt_generic_init($td, $key, $iv); 
    $data = mcrypt_generic($td, $input); 
    mcrypt_generic_deinit($td); 
    mcrypt_module_close($td); 
    $data = base64_encode($data); 
    return $data; 
} 

function pkcs5_pad ($text, $blocksize) 
{ 
    $pad = $blocksize - (strlen($text) % $blocksize); 
    return $text . str_repeat(chr($pad), $pad); 
} 

function pkcs5_unpad($text) 
{ 
    $pad = ord($text{strlen($text)-1}); 
    if ($pad > strlen($text)) return false; 
    if (strspn($text, chr($pad), strlen($text) - $pad) != $pad) return false; 
    return substr($text, 0, -1 * $pad); 
}
