#36946 [NEW]: base64_decode doesn't work

From: kirlo at gmx dot de Operating system: windows & debian PHP version: 5.1.2 PHP Bug Type: *URL Functions Bug description: base64_decode doesn't work Description: ------------ we're encoding some text data with base64 with a small application (not php) on a client pc, then we'll send it to a webserver via POST or GET. the PHP script is fetching POST or GET without any problems but it does not correctly perform the base64_decode operation. we checked our base64 encoded text with other tools (for example http://makcoder.sourceforge.net/demo/base64.php ) and they had no problems! this system works with the latest php4 version but it does not work with the latest php5 version (on the earlier version it also worked well!). i already tried the latest CVS snapshot but it didn't worked either. Reproduce code: --------------- very simple: echo base64_decode($_POST[base64text]); Expected result: ---------------- here are three files the original text: http://t-man.isr-clan.ath.cx/phpbugreport/original.txt the base64 encoded text (base64 encoding performed by our client application): http://t-man.isr-clan.ath.cx/phpbugreport/base64encoded.txt the base64_decode output: http://t-man.isr-clan.ath.cx/phpbugreport/base64_decode-output.txt in this case the messed up text is at the end of the text. sometimes the messed up text is starting at the first 2 or 3 lines. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36946&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36946&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36946&r=trysnapshot51 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36946&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36946&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36946&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36946&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36946&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36946&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36946&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36946&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36946&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36946&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36946&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36946&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36946&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36946&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36946&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36946&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36946&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36946&r=mysqlcfg
