mindplay/nbase
==============

[](#mindplaynbase)

This script provides a converter between numbers encoded with *n*-base notation.

#### Usage

[](#usage)

Any notation (using ASCII characters) can be used.

For example, to convert from decimal to hexadecimal notation:

```
$converter = new NBaseConverter();

echo $converter->convert('12345', 'dec', 'hex'); // => '3039'
```

You can define your custom notations via the public `$notations` property - the notation names supplied to the `convert` method must be defined in `$notation`.

Common notations such as `bin`, `hex`, `dec` and `oct` are pre-defined, as well as `base62` and `base64`, plus a URL-safe variation of `base64` called `url64` which uses `-` and `_` instead of the standard `+` and `/` used by `base64`.

Also, a useful notation `legible` is available, which excludes visually ambiguous characters such as `1` and `l`, `0` and `O`, which can be used to shorten numeric IDs, e.g. for use in URLs.

Refer to the [source code](src/NBaseConverter.php) for a list of pre-defined notations.
