encrypt/decode issue in Code Igniter 2.1.4

I have encrypted email Address like

$this->load->library('encrypt');
$encoded = $this->encrypt->encode('user_email_address');

In codeigniter Model.
And after that when I tried to decode, it does not show the correct data.

$this->encrypt->decode('user_email_address');

It shows like 

Jts¹+…Ru\¼A·¾Àp¤c’áµSîÆKÆ—l¿Ýƒ>ü«%c‚µ~SÔNÏŠÖä3; ñÑ

Please help me to solve this issue

Thanks in advance.

set encryption_key based on the algorithm used for encryption. eg. for AES-128, encryption key must be 128 bits or 16 bytes (characters) long. Or you can create key in your function itself before calling encode() function like:

$key = $this->encryption->create_key(16);

for more details : refer https://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/libraries/encryption.html

You can't use directly email to decode

Use it as 

$this->load->library('encrypt');
$encodedEmail = $this->encrypt->encode('user_email_address');

$myEmail = $this->encrypt->decode($encodedEmail);
