hello,
i have a problem with base64 decoding with the "<br>" tag. heres what happen, it shows only the first 2 "<br>" tags.

sample:
base64 =

dGVzdDxicj50ZXN0PGJyPnRlc3Q8YnI+dGVzdDxicj50ZXN0PGJyPnRlc3Q8YnI+

actual text =

test<br>test<br>test<br>test<br>test<br>test<br>

it only displays
test
test
test

and if i look on the source code it has this code:

test<br>test<br>test<br\ݜ��\ݜ��\ݜ

can someone pls help me?
thanks.

mmm im not getting anything wrong with it:

PHP Code:

$string = 'test<br>test<br>test<br>test<br>test<br>test<br>' ;
$encode = base64_encode($string) ;     echo $encode.'<br>' ;
echo base64_decode($encode) ; 


Try encode some different test

thanks for the help.
ive tried your code and its working.
but when i tried it the way ill will use it, its still has the problem i mentioned above.

heres what i want to do
1. the base64 value is a string query. i mean its part of the url.
2. i only need to decode the ecripted base64 string.

thanks again. hope you can help me.

I'd suggest you echo out the string before the decode, and check that all of it is actually being sent, since it seems to be chopping off a certain amount of the string

since there's a + sign at the end of the base64 encoded string, it might cause problems in a browser, as a + sign can also be used to replace spaces. For instance, placing this url http://mysite.com/mypage?var=Hello World might end up like this http://mysite.com/mypage?var=Hello+World So whenever you grab the value of the $_GET['var'] variable, php might convert the plus sign to a space character.

To prevent this, use the functions urlencode and urldecode

oh i found something.
this is the base64 ecoded value
dGVzdDxicj50ZXN0PGJyPnRlc3Q8YnI+dGVzdDxicj50ZXN0PGJyPnRlc3Q8YnI+

and heres the value when i echoed the string thats comming from the string query. theres no "+" signs.
dGVzdDxicj50ZXN0PGJyPnRlc3Q8YnI dGVzdDxicj50ZXN0PGJyPnRlc3Q8YnI
