Of course it is possible, provided the two programs use the same algorithm (and the same key).

That means the encryption code must use equivalent data type.
What equivalent data type is there between PHP and C++ that one can use?

You have to use an array of bytes. If you need it ASCII-only (for instance, in order to send it by e-mail, then you could encode it in Base64).
