You should explain that the block size is return in BYTES, not the more commonly used unit, bits. Many readers are not going to know the DES block size and figure this out on their own.

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 < 7.2.0, PECL mcrypt >= 1.0.0)
mcrypt_get_block_size — Gets the block size of the specified cipher
Aviso
This function has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 7.1.0 and REMOVED as of PHP 7.2.0. Relying on this function is highly discouraged.
Descrição
mcrypt_get_block_size
( int
$cipher
) : int|false
mcrypt_get_block_size
( string
$cipher
, string $mode
) : int|falseThe first prototype is when linked against libmcrypt 2.2.x, the second when linked against libmcrypt 2.4.x or 2.5.x.
mcrypt_get_block_size() is used to get the
size of a block of the specified cipher (in
combination with an encryption mode).
It is more useful to use the mcrypt_enc_get_block_size() function as this uses the resource returned by mcrypt_module_open().

Valor Retornado
Returns the algorithm block size in bytes ou false em caso de falha.
