EDIT: DO NOT USE THIS IT IS INSECURE
I have used this in the past, i think i originally found it here on stackoverflow somewhere.
class EncryptClass
{
    private $crypt_password;# = 'SOME PASSWORD';
    private $crypt_salt = 'SOME SALT';
    public function password($pWord)
    {
        $this->crypt_password = $pWord;
    return true;
    }
    public function encrypt($decrypted) 
    { 
        $pass = $this->crypt_password;
        $salt = $this->crypt_salt;
        // Build a 256-bit $key which is a SHA256 hash of $salt and $password.
        $key = hash('SHA256', $salt . $pass, true);
        // Build $iv and $iv_base64.  We use a block size of 128 bits (AES compliant) and CBC mode.  (Note: ECB mode is inadequate as IV is not used.)
        srand(); $iv = mcrypt_create_iv(mcrypt_get_iv_size(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_128, MCRYPT_MODE_CBC), MCRYPT_RAND);
        if (strlen($iv_base64 = rtrim(base64_encode($iv), '=')) != 22) return false;
        // Encrypt $decrypted and an MD5 of $decrypted using $key.  MD5 is fine to use here because it's just to verify successful decryption.
        $encrypted = base64_encode(mcrypt_encrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_128, $key, $decrypted . md5($decrypted), MCRYPT_MODE_CBC, $iv));
        // We're done!
        return urlencode($iv_base64 . $encrypted);
    } 
    public function decrypt($encrypted) 
    {
        $pass = $this->crypt_password;
        $salt = $this->crypt_salt;
        $encrypted = rawurldecode($encrypted);
        // Build a 256-bit $key which is a SHA256 hash of $salt and $password.
        $key = hash('SHA256', $salt . $pass, true);
        // Retrieve $iv which is the first 22 characters plus ==, base64_decoded.
        $iv = base64_decode(substr($encrypted, 0, 22) . '==');
        // Remove $iv from $encrypted.
        $encrypted = substr($encrypted, 22);
        // Decrypt the data.  rtrim won't corrupt the data because the last 32 characters are the md5 hash; thus any \0 character has to be padding.
        $decrypted = rtrim(mcrypt_decrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_128, $key, base64_decode($encrypted), MCRYPT_MODE_CBC, $iv), "\0\4");
        // Retrieve $hash which is the last 32 characters of $decrypted.
        $hash = substr($decrypted, -32);
        // Remove the last 32 characters from $decrypted.
        $decrypted = substr($decrypted, 0, -32);
        // Integrity check.  If this fails, either the data is corrupted, or the password/salt was incorrect.
        if (md5($decrypted) != $hash) return false;
        // Yay!
        return $decrypted;
    }
}//class crypt
Then use it like this:
$cr = new EncryptClass;
$cr->password('A PASSWORD');
// to encrypt
$crypt = $cr->encrypt('The thing you want to crypt');
// to decrypt
$decrypt = $cr->decrypt('The thing you want to decrypt'); 
Hope it helps.
