use MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_128

Err.. why, if you don't mind me asking?


because MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_128 is the implementation of AES and if you use a 16 bit key you get AES 128, a 32 bit key and you get AES 256 :)

after a quick google for "php aes 256", I'd point you to this:
http://www.chilkatsoft.com/p/php_aes.asp
which explains all
