note 77618 added to function.pack

This is how I used pack to convert base2 to base64 since base_convert doesn't support base64 The base conversions don't work for long strings, which is why I convert 1 byte at a time Hope this helps someone function base2to64($base2) { if ($remainbits = strlen($base2)%8) $base2 .= str_repeat('0',8-$remainbits); $base64 = NULL; for ($i=0;$i<strlen($base2);$i+=8) $base16 .= sprintf('%02x',bindec(sprintf('%08d',substr($base2,$i,8)))); return base64_encode(pack('H*',$base16)); } function base64to2($base64) { list($base16) = unpack('H*0',base64_decode($base64)); $base2 = NULL; for ($i=0;$i<strlen($base16);$i++) $base2 .= sprintf('%04d',base_convert(substr($base16,$i,1),16,2)); return $base2; } ---- Server IP: 216.235.15.211 Probable Submitter: 142.176.124.16 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.pack.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/77618 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77618/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77618/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77618/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77618/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77618/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77618/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77618 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/77618 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
