How about:

openssl_key_encrypt(
  string data, // to encrypt
  string &crypted, // encrypted result
  mixed key, // key to use
  bool public, // true if you want public key, false for private key
  [int padding] // optional padding
);

and:

openssl_key_decrypt(
  string data, // to decrypt
  string &decrypted, // decrypted result
  mixed key, // key to use
  bool public, // true if you want public key, false for private key
  [int padding] // optional padding
);

Where key can specify the key using the extended syntax added in 4.0.6 (see
php manual online for more info).

This rolls 4 functions into two.
The relevant cipher is encoded in the key.

Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions?
