I am using the following code:
PHP:
// Generate Guid
function NewGuid() {
$s = strtoupper(uniqid(rand(),true));
$guidText =
substr($s,0,8) . '-' .
substr($s,8,4) . '-' .
substr($s,12,4). '-' .
substr($s,16,4). '-' .
substr($s,20);
return $guidText;
}
// End Generate Guid
$Guid = NewGuid();
$alphabet = '123456789abcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZ';
function base_encode($num, $alphabet) {
$base_count = strlen($alphabet);
$encoded = '';
while ($num >= $base_count) {
$div = $num/$base_count;
$mod = ($num-($base_count*intval($div)));
$encoded = $alphabet[$mod] . $encoded;
$num = intval($div);
}
if ($num) $encoded = $alphabet[$num] . $encoded;
return $encoded;
}
function base_decode($num, $alphabet) {
$decoded = 0;
$multi = 1;
while (strlen($num) > 0) {
$digit = $num[strlen($num)-1];
$decoded += $multi * strpos($alphabet, $digit);
$multi = $multi * strlen($alphabet);
$num = substr($num, 0, -1);
}
return $decoded;
}
ob_start();
echo base_encode($Guid, $alphabet); //should output: bUKpk
$theid = ob_get_contents();
ob_get_clean();
The problem:
When i echo $theid, it shows the complete entry, but as it is being inserted into the database, only the first entry in the sequence gets inserted, for example for the entry buKPK, only 'b' is being inserted not the rest.
