PHP Extension

Decode from Binary Encoding and Append String

Demonstrates how to decode from a binary encoding (base64, hex, url, etc.) and then append the decoded string to a Chilkat StringBuilder object.

Note: This example uses the new DecodeAndAppend method added in Chilkat v9.5.0.87.

<?php

include("chilkat.php");

$success = false;

// We have the string "MÆRSK" in two forms:

// This is the URL encoding of the windows-1252 representation.
$nameWindows1252UrlEncoded = 'M%C6RSK';

// This is the URL encoding of the utf-8 representation.
$nameUtf8UrlEncoded = 'M%C3%86RSK';

// Note that the result of loading a string into a string object 
// is the same if we correctly specify the underlying charset encoding.
// In the above example, we have the same string, but in different charset encodings
// subsequently URL encoded.
$sb1 = new CkStringBuilder();
$success = $sb1->DecodeAndAppend($nameWindows1252UrlEncoded,'url','windows-1252');

$sb2 = new CkStringBuilder();
$success = $sb2->DecodeAndAppend($nameUtf8UrlEncoded,'url','utf-8');

// sb1 and sb2 both hold the same string.
$bEqual = $sb1->ContentsEqualSb($sb2,true);
print 'bEqual = ' . $bEqual . "\n";

// We can see the string is "MÆRSK" in both cases.
print $sb1->getAsString() . "\n";
print $sb2->getAsString() . "\n";
