Do you do this on the encryption or the decryption section or both?

I do this to set a zero iv

$td = mcrypt_module_open(MCRYPT_TripleDES, "", MCRYPT_MODE_ECB, "");
$key = substr($secret, 0, mcrypt_enc_get_key_size ($td));
$iv = pack("a".mcrypt_enc_get_iv_size($td),$iv);
mcrypt_generic_init ($td, $key, $iv);
