Snippet : Base64 Encode and Base64 Decode in PHP

This snippet helps you to encode and decode your text with base64.

Base64 is a group of similar encoding schemes that represent binary data in an ASCII string format by translating it into a radix-64 representation. The Base64 term originates from a specific MIME content transfer encoding. - Wikipedia
