ID: 36106 User updated by: schapht at verizon dot net Reported By: schapht at verizon dot net Status: Open Bug Type: URL related Operating System: CentOS 4.1 PHP Version: 5.1.2 New Comment: Sorry... Above code is incorrect, the following is the script under test: <?php $easyString = "SGVsbG8gV29ybGQh"; $complexString = "B 5mvYwuEVli6vkhSUH9dRwpxUWe6LdXQOV8PTak0nlftEZ8lMwnib7 Z SJQt5gXtf1FirG3p8ryIM6JBVVBRH9ceS5jXkCvi4Y4X8HAAIWyujb1WHOpDIItQ1ixLul1ylezCkBZC5iGDlH/IchuPUMtvnoP9FeOy5CwQ=="; echo "Easy : ". base64_decode($easyString) ."\n"; echo "Complex (fed through md5): ". md5(base64_decode($complexString)) ."\n"; ?> Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-01-20 17:27:47] schapht at verizon dot net Description: ------------ The decoding behavior of base64_decode seems to have changed between 5.0.4 and 5.1.2. A simple case like 'SGVsbG8gV29ybGQh' (Hello World!) works, bu this more complex case (an already encrypted string) breaks. NOTE: The reason I'm feeding the $complexString output into md5 is that is contains many unprintable characters because the base64_encrypted string is an already blowfish-encrypted string. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $string = "B 5mvYwuEVli6vkhSUH9dRwpxUWe6LdXQOV8PTak0nlftEZ8lMwnib7 Z SJQt5gXtf1FirG3p8ryIM6JBVVBRH9ceS5jXkCvi4Y4X8HAAIWyujb1WHOpDIItQ1ixLul1ylezCkBZC5iGDlH/IchuPUMtvnoP9FeOy5CwQ=="; echo md5(base64_decode($string)); echo "\n"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- [schapht@dev ~]$ /usr/local/src/php-5.1.2/sapi/cli/php test.php Easy : Hello World!
