AES_ENCRYPT() in php

Is there a way of getting the MySQL AES_ENCRYPT() and php's mcrypt() (with MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_128) to encrypt/decrypt data between them (in other words "to be compatible"). As far as I know, the only difference between the two (from a begginners point of view) was the fixed/variable length keys used. I've tried every encryption mode available in mcrypt() to get them working (with/without an initialization vector, I presume the MySQL version is not using an iv).

I just would like a 'backup' method if anything goes wrong. Also, I might be hosting a website on a shared host, possibly without MySQL over SSL, so I don't want to use the MySQL version, but when the site gets bigger, or I move it, it's possible that the MySQL version could become a viable option in the future. So I just want to have a form of redundancy between the algo's! Also, the php host might not have mcrypt installed.

Also, could someone tell me what mode the AES_ENCRYPT() function in MySQL is using!

Regards
