Note, however, that it validates your routine but does NOT mean you want to be doing this conversion with your data before Base64ing it, because you're just going to mess up the data. Or if your data is in the set of "normal" characters, why are you Base64ing it? What's the problem you're trying to solve here? Base64 is normally used to allow safe transmission of strings that may contain non-typable/non-translatable characters. Apologies if you knew this; it just sounded like "Oh, good, now that I've added etoa() I'm done"... ...phsiii
