# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

$crypt = chilkat::CkCrypt2->new();

# Here are some bytes as a hex string
$hex = "4142434445462140232425";

# The ReEncode method converts a string from one encoding to another.
# Valid encodings are "url", "base64", "qp", "hex", "modbase64", "base64url", "base32", "base58",
# and any of the encodings listed here:  http://cknotes.com/chilkat-binary-encoding-list

# Convert from hex to base64
$b64 = $crypt->reEncode($hex,"hex","base64");
print "base64: " . $b64 . "\r\n";

# Convert from base64 to base32
$b32 = $crypt->reEncode($b64,"base64","base32");
print "base32: " . $b32 . "\r\n";

# Convert from base32 back to hex
$hex = $crypt->reEncode($b32,"base32","hex");
print "hex: " . $hex . "\r\n";
