PHP extension for base58 encoding and decoding using the Bitcoin alphabet.
Using this extension is about 100 times faster than using userspace functions.
- PHP 7.x or 8.x
The extension is available from pecl.
pecl install base58-beta
Instead of installing this extension from pecl, you can build it manually
phpize
./configure --with-base58
make
make install
Add the following line to your php.ini
extension=base58.so
Base58 encode a string.
string base58_encode(string $data)
Triggers an E_WARNING and returns false if string can't be encoded.
Decode a base58 encoded string.
string base58_decode(string $data)
Triggers an E_WARNING and returns false if string can't be decoded.
To encode a hash, make sure you're using the raw hash and not a hexidecimal string.
$rawHash = hash('sha256', 'some string', true); // The `true` makes the function return a raw hash
$encodedHash = base58_encode($rawHash);
The extension is run in test Base58ExtEvent. The Base58BCMathEvent and Base58GMPEvent tests use
the StephenHill\Base58 PHP library.
