convert_uuencode

Description

convert_uuencode() encodes a string using the uuencode algorithm.

Uuencode translates all strings (including binary's ones) into printable characters, making them safe for network transmissions. Uuencoded data is about 35% larger than the original.

Example 1. convert_uuencode() example <?php $some_string = "test\ntext text\r\n"; echo convert_uuencode($some_string); ?>
