Improvement to php `base_convert` function with support for large arbitrary number

Install
-------

[](#install)

Via Composer

```
$ composer require phlib/base_convert
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Trying in php fails

```
// convert big number from base 10 to 36
$largeNumber = '111222333444555666777888999000';
$base36 = base_convert($largeNumber, 10, 36); // notice no error from php on the failure to convert
var_dump($base36);

// fails to convert back
var_dump($largeNumber == base_convert($base36, 36, 10));
```

Replace with phlib\\base\_convert and now it works

```
