I may be faced with a situation where I don't have MCrypt for 
encrypting/decrypting data. I need to store the PIN numbers in a 
database and be able to retrieve them. Is there some other method I can 
use instead? I was thinking, perhaps, something like the following:

$myPinNumber = "123DGH";
$sSecret    = '7R5D1N3V5C4Y6Z2X';
$ary    = array('PIN'    =>    $myPinNumber, 'Secret'    =>    $sSecret);  
$sEncoded    = base64_encode(serialize($ary));
