php + ios encrypt and decrypt 3des + base64

Question

i need encrypt and decrypt with php a string code generated by that ios method explained here https://stackoverflow.com/a/9479657/721253

for encrypt with php i use that script

$key = 'f968f8e82961489a8b14b345';
$data = 'odio quando sto studiando e un velociraptor mi lancia addosso banane';
$encrypted = null;
$m = mcrypt_module_open(MCRYPT_3DES, null, MCRYPT_MODE_ECB, null);
$fake_iv = str_repeat(chr(0), mcrypt_enc_get_iv_size($m));
mcrypt_generic_init($m, $key, $fake_iv);
$encrypted = mcrypt_generic($m, $data);
die(base64_encode($encrypted));

and on IOs for decript i use that

NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://oscurodrago.it/tools/crypto.php"];
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];
NSData *outData = [self TripleDES:data encryptOrDecrypt:kCCDecrypt key:@"f968f8e82961489a8b14b345"];

ccStatus return decode error -> if (ccStatus == kCCDecodeError) NSLog( @"DECODE ERROR");

update that is viewcontroller.m where i'm testing that script

#import <CommonCrypto/CommonCryptor.h>
#import "GTMBase64.h"

#import "ViewController.h"

@interface ViewController ()

@end

@implementation ViewController

You have to make the 'outData' to base64 encoded string. Then only you can print the NSData. Try before that, data is not empty by printing the 'outData' length by

NSLog(@"%d",[outData length]);

See this link for converting NSData to base64 string.
