<?php

include("chilkat.php");
// Use "chilkat_9_5_0.php" for versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0

// It's best not to use non-usascii literal strings in source code.
// Instead, use a binary encoded representation of the string.

// This is the string "44ης Οδός, αρ.2" encoded as quoted-printable.
// Use Chilkat's online tool to prepare encoded strings: Online Binary Encoder
// Note: For strings that have very few us-ascii chars, it's better to use base64 encoding instead of quoted-printable.
$s = '44=CE=B7=CF=82 =CE=9F=CE=B4=CF=8C=CF=82, =CE=B1=CF=81.2';
$sb = new CkStringBuilder();
$sb->AppendEncoded($s,'quoted-printable');

// For programming languages where strings are exposed bytes, you can tell Chilkat globally
// to give you the utf-8 byte representation.
// For programming languages where strings are opaque objects, such as C#, it doesn't matter.
$glob = new CkGlobal();
$glob->put_DefaultUtf8(true);

$s = $sb->getAsString();
