Description

Going through our filter documentation and saw the deprecation warning boxes.

If those are still available we need to add an issue on php-src to remove them in PHP 9, if not update the docs.

From manual page: https://php.net/filters.encryption

Research direction

Start with the filter documentation at https://php.net/filters.encryption and verify whether string.strip_tags, mcrypt., and mdecrypt. remain available in PHP 8. Done means either updating the documentation or, if the filters remain available, opening the requested removal issue in php-src.
