I have found examples with multiline base64 encoded entries (jpegPhoto) which gets decoded wrong. The problem is that each line is decoded and then the decoded data is concatenated. The positions of the line breaks might cause each line to lose some data. The fix is to first concatenate all encoded data and then decode the concatenated data. The following patch helps against the problem:

+ $arr2[$i][$j-1].=substr($v, 1);
+ else /* not multiline or new line */
$arr2[$i][$j++]=$v;
}
}
