mcrypt_generic_init — This function initializes all buffers needed for encryption
$td
, string $key
, string $iv
)You need to call this function before every call to mcrypt_generic() or mdecrypt_generic().
td
The encryption descriptor.
key
The maximum length of the key should be the one obtained by calling mcrypt_enc_get_key_size() and every value smaller than this is legal.
iv
The IV should normally have the size of the algorithms block size, but you must obtain the size by calling mcrypt_enc_get_iv_size(). IV is ignored in ECB. IV MUST exist in CFB, CBC, STREAM, nOFB and OFB modes. It needs to be random and unique (but not secret). The same IV must be used for encryption/decryption. If you do not want to use it you should set it to zeros, but this is not recommended.
The function returns a negative value on error: -3 when the key length
was incorrect, -4 when there was a memory allocation problem and any
other return value is an unknown error. If an error occurs a warning will
be displayed accordingly. FALSE is returned if incorrect parameters
were passed.

The mcrypt implementation of RC2 algorithm supports an effective key length of 1024 bits only.
It is however possible to use an effective key length in 1..1024 bits, by transforming the key before use as follows:
<?php
function transformKey($key, $effKeyLen)
{

If you write error-checking into your code, be warned that this function returns FALSE on some errors, and 0 on success, hence
mcrypt_generic_init( $a, $b, $c ) or die( "Oops");
ALWAYS exits with the error message "Oops", and
(mcrypt_generic_init( $a, $b, $c ) >= 0 ) or die( "Oops");
Sometimes continues when mcrypt_generic_init() actually failed.
To check for successful init use something like:
$s = mcrypt_generic_init( $a, $b, $c );
if( ($s < 0) || ($s === false))
die( "Really an error" );
