Trying to write a couple of functions that will encrypt or decrypt a file and am using the class found here to try and accomplish this:

http://www.itnewb.com/v/PHP-Encryption-Decryption-Using-the-MCrypt-Library-libmcrypt

The encryption function below seems to work, in that it appears to encrypt the file and place it in the intended directory. I'm trying to decrypt the file now, and it just dies with the message "Failed to complete decryption" (which is coded in there...) There's nothing in the php error logs, so I'm not sure why it's failing, but as mcrypt is entirely new to me, I'm more than inclined to believe I'm doing something wrong here...

Here are the functions:

//ENCRYPT FILE
    function encryptFile() {
        global $cryptastic;
        $pass = PGPPASS;
        $salt = PGPSALT;
        $key = $cryptastic->pbkdf2($pass, $salt, 1000, 32) or die("Failed to generate secret key.");

        if ($handle = opendir(PATH.'/ftpd')) {
            while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
                if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
                    $newfile = PATH.'/encrypted/'.$file.'.txt';
                    $msg = file_get_contents(PATH.'/ftpd/'.$file);
                    $encrypted = $cryptastic->encrypt($msg, $key) or die("Failed to complete encryption.");
                    $nfile = fopen($newfile, 'w');
                    fwrite($nfile, $encrypted);
                    fclose($nfile);
                    unlink(PATH.'/ftpd/'.$file);

                }
            }
            closedir($handle);
        }       


//DECRYPT FILE
    function inFTP() {
        global $cryptastic;
        $pass = PGPPASS;
        $salt = PGPSALT;
        $key = $cryptastic->pbkdf2($pass, $salt, 1000, 32) or die("Failed to generate secret key.");

        if ($handle = opendir(PATH.'/encrypted')) {
            while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
                if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
                    $newfile = PATH.'/decrypted/'.$file;
                    $msg = PATH.'/encrypted/'.$file;
                    $decrypted = $cryptastic->decrypt($msg, $key) or die("Failed to complete decryption.");
                    $nfile = fopen($newfile, 'w');
                    fwrite($nfile, $decrypted);
                    fclose($nfile);
                    //unlink(PATH.'/encrypted/'.$file);

                }
            }
            closedir($handle);
        }       
        //$crypt->decrypt($file);
    }
