X-cart Team: Can you please verifiy why some people are getting the "MCRYPT" prompt, while others do not? On my box, I do not have "MCRYPT" enabled and were not prompted.
Thanks

Certain PHP versions have known defects in processing of bitwise operations that are used during generation of encrypted data using Blowfish encryption method.
X-Cart utilizes bitwise operators emulation on these PHP versions, but this leads to slow generation of encrypted data and can have negative impact on X-Cart performance.
The message is shown only if x-cart installation procedure detected that PHP version installed on a client's hosting server has such bugs with bitwise operations processing. In order to overcome the issue the customer needs to install the latest stable PHP version or install the mcrypt php extension.
