ADDON: Internal encoding functions

Hi, Firstly Andi and Andrei, Andi>I don't think convert_to_string_ex() can fail converting to a string. So Andi>you don't need that check. My patch>+ convert_to_string_ex(str); My patch>+ My patch>+ if ((*str)->type != IS_STRING) { My patch>+ RETURN_FALSE; My patch>+ } Andrei removed those lines.... That check is also present in getenv(), and since I am new, I consulted to neighbour functions! (I have removed this check from getenv it in this patch). Patch can be applied on PHP4b4-PL1 fresh copy! Tested under RH6. I have made a COOOOL internal encryption! NEW FUNCTIONS: * encode() * decode() * encdec() Example: (encdec.php, attached too!) <? // encdec $x = encdec ( "faisal" , "f13" ); print "Return: $x, Length: " . strlen ( $x ); print "\n"; $y = encdec ( $x , "13" ); print "Decoded: $y, Length: " . strlen ( $y ); print "\n\n"; // encode $enc = encode ( "faisal" , "cool" ); print "Encoded: $enc\n"; $dec = decode ( $enc , "cool" ); print "Decoded: $dec\n"; ?> encode() encrypts then apply the php_base64_encode() on it... decode() applies php_base64_decode() and then decrypts it... encdec() does not involve any calling to base*() function.... Its pretty stable and secure as far as I think! But there is just one problem which I am stuck! When you call decode, it prints: base64.c(91) : Freeing 0x08113CCC (9 bytes), script=encdec.php I really don't understand why its doing that... perhaps some back in the decoder.... I don't have access to CVS, so either of you (or somebody) else may apply the patches! This is some more of my contribution to PHP! Enjoy! Faisal the Whiz Kid.
