    // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    // Duplicates thw following PHP script:

    // $text = "This is a test";
    // $passphrase = "my password";
    // $iv = openssl_random_pseudo_bytes(openssl_cipher_iv_length("AES-256-CBC"));

    text = "This is a test";
    passphrase = "my password";

    // AES is a block cipher.  The IV size for any block cipher is the size of the block, which is defined by the encryption algorithm. 
    // For AES, the block size is always 16 bytes, regardless of key size (i.e. 128-bits, 192-bits, or 256-bits).
    // Therefore, generate 16 random bytes for the IV.

    // Because we're doing AES-256-CBC, the key length must be 256-bits (i.e. 32 bytes).
    // Given that our passphrase is a us-ascii string that can be shorter or longer than 32-bytes, we need to 
    // somehow transform the passphrase to a 32-byte secret key.  We need to know what openssl_encrypt does.
    // Here's the answer from the openssl_encrypt documentation:
    // 
    // "If the passphrase is shorter than expected, it is silently padded with NUL characters; 
    // if the passphrase is longer than expected, it is silently truncated."

    // OK.... so let's pad or shorten to get a 32-byte key.
