RSA Decryption with phpseclib is failing

Question

I have mobile application that encrypts strings with RSA and sends that encrypted data to PHP web server.

After a search I found that phpseclib is used to decrypt RSA Latest version 2.0.

No matter what I do I receive despite error despite used mode

Am i doing something wrong?

What I have tried:

Private key for decryption:

-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
MIIBOgIBAAJBAJyHUgC1ijhsETeuoNMh4c4yrFoL4juL/yDderMC9fBd1TFgEoJ5dxzMzdlzVVj7Vc/H/I+k13yY3W0MknS//k8CAwEAAQJAaaL1l57s8lkUYZTL2tFh9+vA32BnxLIdc0ullAwqeJV21wXcEyDA67fbmBywdt+pVKkeO2NU7fD3e+DZREuJ0QIhAPZNo9jirkRl4i/Lv3jWt6SmeUBeyIKK0u4lZiBF9KAZAiEAorDjj2c9WBdP46S9hK7yj0U5/0QHB0pO01j9QSVBvqcCIQDrYre7hqdU5qmLVATgzxMiX5ZxViP53gJHZaZ8IV7vwQIgTTYEGafWjjsqGBC0PQdGaMZi+wnPCB+0/0rpjoRfClsCIBPzZw+lappnVxXHuUoQQeN6uevqSvmgvC42UyA4HABa
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

Encrypted message (base64 encoded):

SMZiVTAMizngWa5Yg2Xp0F3Coy4cIsLB6mru2rLhxnvS2SC\/rm9pgPVLdA\/hp+1TIbzHZqjc2lnP\nkvzh797WlA==\n

PHP sample code:

$rsa = new RSA();
$rsa->setEncryptionMode(RSA::ENCRYPTION_PKCS1);
$rsa->loadKey($privateKey); 
echo $rsa->decrypt(base64_decode($strBase64));

Result:

Notice: Decryption error in C:\xampp\htdocs\webservice\vendor\phpseclib\phpseclib\phpseclib\Crypt\RSA.php on line 2553

Mode:

$rsa->setEncryptionMode(RSA::ENCRYPTION_OAEP); 

Result:

Notice: Decryption error in C:\xampp\htdocs\webservice\vendor\phpseclib\phpseclib\phpseclib\Crypt\RSA.php on line 2432

Mode:

$rsa->setEncryptionMode(RSA::ENCRYPTION_NONE); 

Result:

As James J Polk observed, your base64 encoded string has some bad characters in it. idk what you're using in PHP as your delimiter but this worked for me:

$strBase64 = 'SMZiVTAMizngWa5Yg2Xp0F3Coy4cIsLB6mru2rLhxnvS2SC\/rm9pgPVLdA\/hp+1TIbzHZqjc2lnP\nkvzh797WlA==\n';
$strBase64 = str_replace(['\/', '\n'], ['/', ''], $strBase64);

If you're using double quotes instead of single quotes do this:

$strBase64 = "SMZiVTAMizngWa5Yg2Xp0F3Coy4cIsLB6mru2rLhxnvS2SC\/rm9pgPVLdA\/hp+1TIbzHZqjc2lnP\nkvzh797WlA==\n";
$strBase64 = str_replace(['\/', "\n"], ['/', ''], $strBase64);
