In this tutorial we develop a function to encrypt and decrypt any string using base 64 encoding and decoding.

If your using PHP > 4 then we should have available the methods base64_encode, as well as base64_decode to create a simple encryption algorithm. The script shown below takes as input a string value and a key (optional) to encrypt and decrypt the string using base 64 encoding.

Code for Encryption:

	Code Snippet 1

function encrypt_string_64($inputValue, $key)
{
  $encryptedString = '';
  for($i=0; $i<strlen($inputValue); $i++) {
    $char = substr($inputValue, $i, 1);
    $keychar = substr($key, ($i % strlen($key))-1, 1);
    $char = chr(ord($char)+ord($keychar));
    $encryptedString.=$char;
  }

  return base64_encode($encryptedString);
}

Code for Decryption:

	Code Snippet 2

function decrypt_string_64($encoded64Input, $key)
{
  $decryptedString = '';
  $encoded64Input = base64_decode($encoded64Input);

  for($i=0; $i<strlen($encoded64Input); $i++) {
    $char = substr($encoded64Input, $i, 1);
    $keychar = substr($key, ($i % strlen($key))-1, 1);
    $char = chr(ord($char)-ord($keychar));
    $decryptedString.=$char;
  }

  return $decryptedString;
}
