PHP中的Base64编码不适用于'＆'和'＃'吗？

Question

My knowledge about base64 is pretty limited. I am using it as an alternative to string escaping in a content management system, for I had been warned about how weaknesses have been found in mysql_real_escape_string(); and quite sheepishly so, as I am aware of how it buffs text size up.

PHP seems to truncate everything after an instance of # or & in the string; please help me out of this one.

Also, comment on whether using base64 to maintain the 'trueness' of post content in the CMS is just plain retarded, or a wise move.

Thanks for your time :)

Answer 1

Yes it works:

$ php
<?php echo base64_decode(base64_encode("hello &# world")); ?>
hello &# world

you can find informations about base64 on wikipedia and in php manual

Answer 2

Thank you all, Dav was right all the way. A simple URLEncode function I grabbed off Google did the trick :)

return encodeURIComponent(str).replace(/!/g, '%21').replace(/'/g, '%27').replace(/\(/g, '%28').
                                                                replace(/\)/g, '%29').replace(/\*/g, '%2A').replace(/%20/g, '+');

Thanks again :)
