URL-safe Base64 Handling
Encodes data to Base64 URL-safe way and decodes encoded data.
Note: This package requires PHP 7.1 or above.
use \Oire\Base64;
$text = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog";
try {
$encoded = Base64::encode($text);
} catch(Exception $e) {
// Handle errors
}
echo $encoded.PHP_EOL;
This will output:
VGhlIHF1aWNrIGJyb3duIGZveCBqdW1wcyBvdmVyIHRoZSBsYXp5IGRvZw
By default, the encode()
method truncates padding =
signs as PHP?s built-in decoder handles this correctly. However, if the second parameter is given and set to true
, =
signs will be replaced with tildes (~
), i.e.:
try {
$encoded = Base64::encode($text, true);
} catch(Exception $e) {
// Handle errors
}
echo $encoded.PHP_EOL;
This will output:
VGhlIHF1aWNrIGJyb3duIGZveCBqdW1wcyBvdmVyIHRoZSBsYXp5IGRvZw~~
To decode the data, simply call decode()
:
$encoded = "VGhlIHF1aWNrIGJyb3duIGZveCBqdW1wcyBvdmVyIHRoZSBsYXp5IGRvZw";
try {
$decoded = Base64::decode($encoded);
} catch(Exception $e) {
// Handle errors
}
echo $decoded.PHP_EOL;
This will output:
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
