After (v)spprintf i have another modified function here:

base64url_(en|de)code You could simply use this: urlencode(base64_encode($blaat));

Sure but the the encoding result grows in length (dynamically) what i wanted to avoid :-)

    But modifying the way base64_encode() works is not the right
    thing [tm].

It is not a replacement for base64 it is a new encoding function with some big similarities to base64. So i can do whatever i want with it. When i wanted it as a replacement for base64 in MIME i had to use the character ' instead of -. No more than the four characters -_'! fulllfill all named requirements. But ' is bad for program parameters and such and - is bad for MIME. marcus
