<?php

// The version number (9_5_0) should match version of the Chilkat extension used, omitting the micro-version number.
// For example, if using Chilkat v9.5.0.48, then include as shown here:
include("chilkat_9_5_0.php");

// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

$crypt = new CkCrypt2();

$s1 = 'This is a test / = abc 123';

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

// Use "ansi" for an unencoded ANSI string.

// Encode to URL-encoding:
$s2 = $crypt->reEncode($s1,'ansi','url');
print $s2 . "\n";

// Convert from URL-encoding to base64:

$b64 = $crypt->reEncode($s2,'url','base64');
print $b64 . "\n";

// Convert from base64 to hex:

$hex = $crypt->reEncode($b64,'base64','hex');
print $hex . "\n";
