PHP Base64

Comments: 26 | Rating: 4.4/5

PHP is a general-purpose scripting language used actively for developing Web applications. At this moment is one of the leaders among the languages used to create dynamic Web sites. Since PHP supports sending and receiving network requests, processing data, and sending emails, it would be strange if this programming language did not support such useful functions for encoding and decoding data using the Base64 algorithm.

To encode data to Base64 in PHP, use the function base64_encode:

<?php
echo base64_encode('guru'); //-> "Z3VydQ=="

And of course, the reverse process — to decode Base64 values use the function base64_decode:

<?php
echo base64_decode('Z3VydQ=='); //-> "guru"

As you can see, there is nothing complicated. However, if you have any questions, look at the following examples:

  • Tim_S,
    There seems to be more to know than the base64_encode function. I have an application that sends PDFs every once in a while and sometimes they do not reach the recipients. A mere chunk_split(base64_encode($data)) does not do the job.

  • Shane,
    Hi, is there possibly any PHP code for your repair malformed base 64, we need to need to decode a photograph however the reply string seems malformed and we would need to fix it on the fly before we can decode. Thank you.
