Aes-256-crt crypto not working?

Question

PHP

There is code in PHP and JS to encrypt and decrypt using AES-256-CTR, PHP does a great job with both decryption and encryption, but JS returns an empty string. Why?

function encrypt ($text) {
return openssl_encrypt($text, "aes-256-ctr", "PASSWORD");
}

function decrypt ($crypt) {
return openssl_decrypt($crypt, "aes-256-ctr", "PASSWORD");
}

function decrypt(text) {
  let decipher = crypto.createDecipher("aes-256-ctr", "PASSWORD");
  let dec = decipher.update(text, "hex", "utf8");
  dec += decipher.final("utf8");
  return dec;
}

Answer 1

in update input encoding (second argument) utf8, ascii, or latin1 ; output (third argument) latin1, base64 or hex
final output also latin1, base64 or hex
