Base64 Encode/Decode UTF8 Delphi 2010

Hello,

I have a Unit where in Delphi 2007 i was able to encode/decode strings being compatible with the PHP version of Base64...

So, a String base64 encoded in PHP, i was able to decode it in my Delphi app..

Now using Delphi 2010, i wanna make it compatible... but i really don't have idea where is the problem... when i try to encode a text, it comes like "Chinese Characters"... i can change all Strings from the Unit to AnsiString but then i don't have a base64 support for Unicode!

Attached is the Unit... somebody know how to make it compatible with Unicode?

I don't have enough knowledge to change things in this unit where will be able to support unicode... in the official website, it's just abandoned and since 2003 there is no updates!
but i know that its possible, since there are a lot of examples over the web but in .NET or javascript, C# not in Delphi :(

To test the unit, is something like

Example, 2 Edits over the form and 1 button

OnButton Click
Edit2.Text := SZFullEncodeBase64(Edit1.Text);

Best Regards,
Carlos SZCodeBaseX.pas

aflarin

it seems the unit suppose that string is AnsiString, but in D2010 string is WideString.

so, I think you have to change all string types into unit to AnsiString

or maybe there is a compiler directive for that?

aflarin

also you have to change PChar to PAnsiChar

try the attached unit. I've done these changes and checked it on your sample.

{$O+} // Optimization must be ON
{$R-} // Range checking must be OFF

Encode/Decode algorithms for Base16, Base32 and Base64
Reference: RFC 3548

- Universal Encode/Decode algorithms for Base16, Base32 and Base64
- Standard Base16, Base32 and Base64 encoding/decoding functions
- Reference: RFC 3548, full compatibility
- Full MIME suppport
- Supported work with Memory, Stream, String and Files
- Optionally supported work with padding keys (required numbers
  of '=' at the end of the encoded array)
- Very flexible work - you may easily create your own Encode/Decode functions
  based on your own specific codes, from Base2 up to Base128

I know D2009 has not it, but maybe it appears in D2010/Delphi XE?

Emmanuel PASQUIER

when encoding WideString -> Base64 String, that Base64 string is ANSIString.
And when decoding, you have to consider the same : source Base64 is ANSIString, and result is widestring.

So it is not just so simple as to change String into AnsiString. You have to choose which need to be changed.

I have a smaller unit for base64, I've upgraded it for Unicode so that you can either use it or see how to change your own unit. Beware, I haven't tested it (don't have Delphi >2009...)

Hey, thanks both for reply!
But then, the final conclusion is that for "Arabic, Chineses characters" there is not support?
Example, i can convert to base64 only ANSI characters and not UTF-8(Unicode) characters?
Both examples works perfectly, but i tried to encode and decode arabic chars and of course, returning AnsiString will lost data (wide chars) hehe

Emmanuel PASQUIER

no, my functions should be able to encode unicode to b64(ansi) and back to unicode. i am gone now and cannot check. aflarin code do have the restriction you are talking about because he did not mix ansi & wide strings (he used ansi everywhere)

No, if you call a function needing unicode parameter with an ANSI string, Delphi will first convert the ANSI string with its Unicode equivalent. Then the encoding would work and produce an ANSI string (twice the size of the one that an encoding function working with ANSI param would) and then the decode would produce again the same Unicode string that Delphi converted. And if you copy that to an ANSIString variable, you will get the original ANSI string, without problems. But yes, it is better to have 2 set of functions to avoid unnecessary conversions
