Passing base64 encoded strings in URL

Question

Is it safe to pass raw base64 encoded strings via GET parameters?

Answer 1

Its a base64url encode you can try out, its just extension of joeshmo's code above.

function base64url_encode($data) {
return rtrim(strtr(base64_encode($data), '+/', '-_'), '=');
}

function base64url_decode($data) {
return base64_decode(str_pad(strtr($data, '-_', '+/'), strlen($data) % 4, '=', STR_PAD_RIGHT));
}
