Encoded string:
<?php$str = "Hello world!";echo convert_uuencode($str);?>The convert_uuencode() function uses the uuencode algorithm to encode a string.
Note: This function encodes all strings (including binary) into printable characters to ensure the security of database storage and network transmission. Remember to use the convert_uudecode() function before reusing the data.
Note: uuencoded data is approximately 35% larger than the original data.
