Install with composer.
$ composer require tuupola/base85
This branch requires PHP 7.1 or up. The older 1.x branch supports also PHP 5.6 and 7.0.
$ composer require "tuupola/base85:^1.0"
This package has both pure PHP and GMP based encoders. By default encoder and decoder will use GMP functions if the extension is installed. If GMP is not available pure PHP encoder will be used instead.
$base85 = new Tuupola\Base85;
$encoded = $base85->encode(random_bytes(128));
$decoded = $base85->decode($encoded);
If you are encoding to and from integer use the implicit decodeInteger()
and encodeInteger()
methods.
$integer = $base85->encodeInteger(987654321); /* 3o4PT */
print $base85->decodeInteger("3o4PT", true); /* 987654321 */
Note that encoding a string and an integer will yield different results.
$string = $base85->encode("987654321"); /* 3B/rU2)I*E0` */
$integer = $base85->encodeInteger(987654321); /* 3o4PT */
ASCII85 encoding. This is the default. 0x00000000
is compressed to z
. Spaces are not compressed.
use Tuupola\Base85;
$ascii85 = new Base85([
"characters" => Base85::ASCII85,
"compress.spaces" => false,
"compress.zeroes" => true
]);
print $ascii85->encode("Hello world!"); /* 87cURD]j7BEbo80 */
Adobe ASCII85 encoding is same as previous except data is enclosed between <~
and ~>
.
use Tuupola\Base85;
$adobe85 = new Base85([
"characters" => Base85::ASCII85,
"compress.spaces" => false,
"compress.zeroes" => true,
"prefix" => "<~",
"suffix" => "~>"
]);
print $adobe85->encode("Hello world!"); /* <~87cURD]j7BEbo80~> */
ZeroMQ (Z85) encoding. NOTE! Even though specification says input length must be divisible by 4, this is not currently enforced. Spaces and zeroes are not compressed.
use Tuupola\Base85;
$z85 = new Base85([
"characters" => Base85::Z85,
"compress.spaces" => false,
"compress.zeroes" => false
]);
print $z85->encode("Hello world!"); /* NM=qnZy<MXa+]NF */
Character set from RFC1924 which is an April fools joke. Spaces and zeroes are not compressed.
use Tuupola\Base85;
$rfc1924 = new Base85([
"characters" => Base85::RFC1924,
"compress.spaces" => false,
"compress.zeroes" => false
]);
print $rfc1924->encode("Hello world!"); /* NM&qnZy<MXa%^NF */
Pure PHP encoder seems to be faster than the GMP implementation. Below benchmarks use random_bytes(128)
as data.

If you prefer static syntax use the provided static proxy.
use Tuupola\Base85Proxy as Base85;
print Base85::encode("Hello world!") /* 87cURD]j7BEbo80 */
To change static proxy options set the Base85::$options
variable.
use Tuupola\Base85;
use Tuupola\Base85Proxy as Z85;
Z85::$options = [
"characters" => Base85::Z85,
"compress.spaces" => false,
"compress.zeroes" => false
];
print Z85::encode("Hello world!"); /* NM=qnZy<MXa+]NF */
You can run tests either manually or automatically on every code change. Automatic tests require entr to work.
$ make test
$ brew install entr
$ make watch
