Base-58 encoder/decoder in PHP
==============================

[](#base-58-encoderdecoder-in-php)

Using base-58 encoding for shortening URLs
------------------------------------------

[](#using-base-58-encoding-for-shortening-urls)

This class can be used to convert integers (base 10) to base-58 strings. Base-58 contains alphanumeric characters minus "l" (letter l), "0" (number 0), and O (letter O) to prevent mistyping.

Install Base58 using composer
-----------------------------

[](#install-base58-using-composer)

```
{
    "require" : "allty/base58"
}

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use Allty\Utils\Base58;

// We will usually use something like a auto-incremented key from MySQL
$url_id = 627868726;

// encode() (shorten)
$short = Base58::encode($url_id); // "XtZuS"

// decode()
$decoded = Base58::decode($short); // 627868726
```
