These functions were DEPRECATED in PHP 7.1.0, and some have been REMOVED in PHP 7.2.0.
PHP: mcrypt_create_iv - Manual
PHP: mcrypt_enc_get_iv_size - Manual
PHP: mcrypt_encrypt - Manual

Switch your PHP to use PHP 7.0 or earlier
OR
Change your PHP code to use a supported encryption eg openssl_encrypt
PHP: OpenSSL Functions - Manual
OR
Switch off the depreciation warnings in your PHP logs using the ~E_DEPRECATED flag (NOT recommended as this just hides the problem and does not solve it)


You may need to ask the developer of the code for advice.

The suggestions provided here by @rpvw are spot on and I would second requesting assistance from the developer to update the code.


Thanks!
