decoding base64 from an array

[fintan]

Hi I'm trying to decode base64 from a ldap query. I can print it directly from the array but I can't print it directly to a page. I've tried base64_decode() with no luck. An example of the the array is below. Any help would be apprieciated. Thanks

Array
(
[count] => 9
[0] => Array
(
[guid] => Array
(
[count] => 1
[0] => €,ÉÃòÚ»L
)

[0] => guid
[count] => 1
[dn] => cn=,ou=,ou=,o=
)

[1] => Array
(
[guid] => Array
(
[count] => 1
[0] =>
)

[0] => guid
[count] => 1
[dn] => cn=,ou=,ou=,o=
)

[2] => Array
(
[guid] => Array
(
[count] => 1
[0] => €—œMîÔÔ‡›
)

[0] => guid
[count] => 1
[dn] => cn=,ou=,ou=,o=
)

base64_decode() [php.net] expects a string as argument. If you are trying to decode an array it is not going to work. You need to loop through the array and decode each value.

Hi coopster here's what I got so far

straight from ldap: €,ÉÃòÚ»L

base64_encode: gCzJw/Ia2hG7TA==

base64_decode: €,ÉÃòÚ»L

What I'm hoping for is

hex

00 D7 8D EF 9D FA D9 11 93 B4 00 07 E9 OD A1 9E

Is there a way to change this €,ÉÃòÚ»L into the above. Thanks

bin2hex [php.net] is my first thought but that doesn't return the hex value you have shown here.

[fintan]

Thanks coopster think you just solved my problem. The hex is only an example.

[fintan]

Here's a proper sample

encode: gMaqIVUg2hG7TA==
decode encode: €Æª!U Ú»L
straight: €Æª!U Ú»L
hex: 80c6aa215520da11bb4c

It's cutting it after c. There's a 00 after c that's it's not displaying.

The full hex is

80 C6 AA 21 55 20 DA 11 BB 4C 00 30 05 47 08 81

[coopster]

I don't know from where that full hex is derived but it isn't what I get. What is the starting value, before any encoding/decoding or other translation?

[fintan]

When I print out the array using print_r I get.

€Æª!U Ú»L

But It's missing a couple of charaters from the end

This is the raw format I think. It's not sorted but the systems we use treat it as the same. From what I can find it's ment to be.

raw: 21aac680-2055-11da-bb4c-003005470881

sorted: 80 C6 AA 21 55 20 DA 11 BB 4C 00 30 05 47 08 81

The 80,aa,c6 & so on do match up.

Thanks
