$crypt = new COM("Chilkat.Crypt2");

//  Any string argument automatically begins the 30-day trial.
$success = $crypt->UnlockComponent('30-day trial');
if ($success != true) {
    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 . "\n";

//  Convert from URL-encoding to base64:

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

//  Convert from base64 to hex:

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