Hi, I'd like to request the submission of a package to PECL. We've created a PHP extension for base58 encoding and decoding using the Bitcoin alphabet. It's a simple binding to the bitcoin/libbase58 c library. The source code can be found here: https://github.com/legalthings/base58-php-ext *Why not userspace functions?* There are some implementations in userspace ( https://github.com/stephen-hill/base58php). These rely on bcmath or gmp and are much to slow to handle more than a few bytes. This base58 extension performs as well as comparable functions like base64_encode. Benchmark tests can be found here: https://pastebin.com/8iWyZJX6 Yours, Arnold Daniels LegalThings
