FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Base58 Encoding and Decoding Library for PHP

Build Status Packagist Release MIT License Flattr this

Long Term Support

Each major version of this library will be supported for 5 years after it's initial release. Support will be provided for security and bug fixes.

Version 1 will therefore be supported until the 11th September 2019.

Background

I wanted a replacement for Base64 encoded strings and the Base58 encoding used by Bitcoin looked ideal. I looked around for an existing PHP library which would directly convert a string into Base58 but I couldn't find one, or at least one that worked correctly and was also well tested.

So I decided to create a library with the following goals:

Requirements

This library has the following requirements:

Installation

I recommend you install this library via Composer.

Basic Usage

Advanced Usage

By default this library chooses the encoding service provider to use, either GMPService or BCMathService (in that order). If you want to specify one of the included services or your own, you can inject it into the constructor.

Also by default, this library uses Bitcoin's Base58 alphabet. If you want to use another variant, you can do this in the constructor.

Testing

This library is tested using PHPUnit.

Benchmarking

You can benchmark this library using Athletic. The benchmarking suite also benchmarks PHP's built-in Base64 and Base16 encoding for comparison.

Example output.
