#26742 [Com]: The base64_encode() function returns an string that cannot decoded by outlook

ID: 26742 Comment by: louloufox29 at hotmail dot com Reported By: eric dot maman at free dot fr Status: No Feedback Bug Type: *URL Functions Operating System: Windows 2000 PHP Version: 4.3.4 New Comment: I have the same problem (using PHP 4.3.3 with Easy PHP on a win XP server) When i send the attachment using Outlook, the part of message source about attachement is different. The string is not the same... (that's why it seems sorrupted). I've try to encode a file and then decode the same file, save it using a different name and can't open it, it is the same probleme. So i think it's realy a PHP Bogus (i can't believe in the config way of resolution...) Regards !

When I receive the mail on Outlook, the attachement is visible but corrupeted. I have tested the whole process and my conclusion is that the base64_encode() function does not work correctly. I have made a workarround with an extrenal program that performs the base64 encoding and it work correctly. Reproduce code: --------------- function EncodeString ($str, $encoding = "base64") { $encoded = ""; switch(strtolower($encoding)) { case "base64": $encoded = chunk_split(base64_encode($str), 76, $this->LE); break; case "7bit": case "8bit": $encoded = $this->FixEOL($str); if (substr($encoded, -(strlen($this->LE))) != $this->LE) $encoded .= $this->LE; break; case "binary": $encoded = $str; break; case "quoted-printable": $encoded = $this->EncodeQP($str); break; default: $this->SetError($this->Lang("encoding") . $encoding); break; } return $encoded; } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=26742&edit=1
