<?php

include("chilkat.php");

$crypt = new CkCrypt2();

// 1193046 decimal is equal to 0x123456 hex.
$value = 1193046;

// Write the integer in 8 bytes using little-endian byte-order and return as hex
$bLittleEndian = true;
$s = $crypt->encodeInt($value,8,$bLittleEndian,'hex');
// The output is: 5634120000000000
print $s . "\n";

// Now use big-endian...
$bLittleEndian = false;
$s = $crypt->encodeInt($value,8,$bLittleEndian,'hex');
// The output is: 0000000000123456
print $s . "\n";

// Instead of hex, get the 8 bytes using base64.
$s = $crypt->encodeInt($value,8,$bLittleEndian,'base64');
// The output is: AAAAAAASNFY=
print $s . "\n";
