* This is an example of a practical encoder and decoder for base-62 data in PHP | |
* It differs from the majority of examples in that it's fast enough for moderate data sizes, unlike multiprecision converters | |
* To be practical, base-62 encoding needs to use internal chunking and padding because base-62 does not fit exactly into any integral number of bits | |
* This means the output is not quite compatible with multiprecision conversions, | |
* but the encoded data retains all the desirable properties of base-62, so (unlike any base-64 encoding) it's URL, DNS, email address and pathname safe | |
