About ----- [](#about) PHP is a great language but unfortunately provides us with only one text encoding (base64) which even not URL safe. And there are no straight way to change its alphabet. BaseN solves that problem and implements common binary-to-text algorithm for encodings whose alphabet fully covers number of bits that corresponds its length. And rough algorithm which will encode each byte separately, it is less compact but guarantee the encoding with given alphabet. Furthermore it gives you methods to encode and decode integers themselves instead of their text representation. Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - [PHP](//php.net/) 8.3+ Installation ------------ [](#installation) Install with composer ``` composer require chongyi/php-basen ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) ``` use PHPBaseN\BaseN; use PHPBaseN\Base58; // use it for something usual $base8 = new BaseN('01234567', false, false, false); echo $base8->encode(16) . "\n"; // 142330 echo $base8->encodeInt(16) . "\n"; // 20 // or create your own encoder with own alphabet if needed $myOwnEncoder = new BaseN('a123d8e4fiwnmqkl', false, true, true); echo $myOwnEncoder->encode(16) . "\n"; // 313e echo $myOwnEncoder->encodeInt(16) . "\n"; // 1a // predefined encoder echo Base58::encode(16) . "\n"; // 3hC // or, with alternative alphabet echo Base58::encode(16, Base58::ALPHABET_RIPPLE) . "\n"; // hkD echo Base58::encodeInt(16) . "\n"; // G ``` Builtin encodings ----------------- [](#builtin-encodings) BaseN provides few classes implementing most popular encodings: - [Base16](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base16) (0-9a-f) - [Base32](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base32) (a-z2-7) - [Base36](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base36) (0-9a-z) - [Base58](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base58) (0-9A-Za-v) - Base62 (0-9A-Za-z) - [Base64](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64) (0-9A-Za-z+/) - [Base85](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base85) (!"#$%&'()\*+,-./0-9:;<=>?@A-Z\[\]^\_`a-u) ### Health Score 31 — LowBetter than 68% of packages Maintenance52 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity4 Limited adoption so far Community9 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity52 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 63.6% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
