example.php

<?php

include("base58.php");

echo "http://flic.kr/p/" . base58::encode(3392387861) . "\n";

// outputs: http://flic.kr/p/6aLSHT

echo "3392387861 = " . base58::decode(base58::encode(3392387861)) . "\n";

// outputs: 3392387861 = 3392387861

Is there a way to use this with raw binary data, instead of integers?

I get this error String offset cast occurred in line:

$base58_string = self::$alphabet{$mod} . $base58_string;

becuase $mod is a float. The error seem to be fixed casting to integer.

I was getting the offset cast warning too. I figure in 2017 the 32bit proc concern was not relevant, so using % and intval() cured those warnings.

		while($int >= $base) {
			$div = floor($int / $base);
			$mod = $int % $base;
			$base58_string = self::$alphabet{$mod} . $base58_string;
			$int = $div;
		}
		if($int) $base58_string = self::$alphabet{intval($int)} . $base58_string;
		return $base58_string;
