phlib/base_convert
, (*1)
Improvement to php base_convert function with support for large arbitrary number, (*2)
Install
Via Composer, (*3)
``` bash
$ composer require phlib/base_convert, (*4)
## Usage
Trying in php fails
``` php
// convert big number from base 10 to 36
$largeNumber = '111222333444555666777888999000';
$base36 = base_convert($largeNumber, 10, 36); // notice no error from php on the failure to convert
var_dump($base36);
// fails to convert back
var_dump($largeNumber == base_convert($base36, 36, 10));
Replace with phlib\base_convert and now it works
``` php
<?php
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';, (*5)
use function Phlib\base_convert;, (*6)
// convert big number from base 10 to 36
$largeNumber = '111222333444555666777888999000';
$base36 = base_convert($largeNumber, 10, 36);
var_dump($base36);, (*7)
// succesfully converts back
var_dump($largeNumber == base_convert($base36, 36, 10));, (*8)
Making it clearer you're using a different function
``` php
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
// convert big number from base 10 to 36
$largeNumber = '111222333444555666777888999000';
$base36 = Phlib\base_convert($largeNumber, 10, 36);
var_dump($base36);
// succesfully converts back
var_dump($largeNumber == Phlib\base_convert($base36, 36, 10));
