I tried to encrypt value using Illuminate\Encryption\Encrypter but it returns an error.

Error:

{ "message": "Unsupported cipher or incorrect key length. Supported ciphers are: aes-128-cbc, aes-256-cbc, aes-128-gcm, aes-256-gcm.", "exception": "RuntimeException",....

code:

  $encrypter = new Encrypter("evsLYhBx1UAKKervjVIt1aJK0KLHHIf0vETUeI0HaYc=", config('app.cipher'));

  $encryptedValue = $encrypter->encryptString("test value");

My app.cipher

'cipher' => 'AES-256-CBC',

It returns an error that my key is not valid.

I also tried to generate key using this code but it's not working as well.

  $key = base64_encode(

    Encrypter::generateKey(config('app.cipher'))

  );

I also tried to copy the value of APP_KEY of .env key but not working too.

APP_KEY=base64:evsLYhBx1UAKKervjVIt1aJK0KLHHIf0vETUeI0HaYc=

How to generate a Key to use by lluminate\Encryption\Encrypter ?

My Answer:
message: "The only supported ciphers are AES-128-CBC and AES-256-CBC with the correct key lengths."}
