<?php

include("chilkat.php");
// Use "chilkat_9_5_0.php" for versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0

$crypt = new CkCrypt2();

$path = 'c:/someDir/example.dat';

// Such as base64, hex, hex_lower, etc.
$encoding = 'base64';

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
// The Encode method is deprecated:

$inData = new CkByteData();
$inData->loadFile($path);

$encodedBytes = $crypt->encode($inData,$encoding);

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Workaround.
// (Chilkat is moving away from using CkByteData)

$bd = new CkBinData();
$bd->LoadFile($path);
