You can use base64_encode() and base64_decode() to get ASCII chars.

Hi samdark

Thanks for your reply.

I use this base64_encode($encrypted) but the chars are very lengthy any options to define this? like




base64_encode($encrypted,16) // generates 16 chars

Well, that’s correct. Encryption in Yii is quite strong so resulting string is lengthy. What do you need it for?
