I need to remove(=) equal sign from the input url. How can I make this ? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-09-29 12:49:42] leigh@php.net Sorry but this is not a bug. The base64_encoded version of 'masud' will have a single equals sign at the end for padding. When you urlencode this it will be converted to '%3D', bWFzdWQ= -> bWFzdWQ%3D You have changed the encoding, and have changed the value represented by this encoding. base64_decode is behaving correctly in this case. Thank you for your interest in PHP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-09-29 12:28:26] kabir dot pust at gmail dot com Description: ------------ <?php echo $a = urlencode(base64_encode('fazlul')).'
