Hi Alex,

Can you give more details on what you want exaclty please ?

and if you want to decode json, you can use this simple function:

json_decode($data);

That is not base64 encoded - those are unicode charcaters
\u003c is a '<'
\u003e is a '>'

Decoded it looks like this

You don't need to Base64 Decode that. Just run a json_decode on it:

$data = "\u003cii_jtobx3m60\u003e";
$string = json_decode('"' . $data . '"');
