$crypt = new chilkat::CkCrypt2();

#  Any string argument automatically begins the 30-day trial.
$success = $crypt->UnlockComponent("30-day trial");
if ($success != 1) {
    print $crypt->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;

$s1 = "This is a test / = abc 123";

#  The ReEncode method converts a string from one encoding
#  to another.
#  Valid encodings are "url", "base64", "qp", "hex", and "ansi"
#  Use "ansi" for an unencoded ANSI string.

#  Encode to URL-encoding:
$s2 = $crypt->reEncode($s1,"ansi","url");
print $s2 . "\r\n";

#  Convert from URL-encoding to base64:

$b64 = $crypt->reEncode($s2,"url","base64");
print $b64 . "\r\n";

#  Convert from base64 to hex:

$hex = $crypt->reEncode($b64,"base64","hex");
print $hex . "\r\n";
