Note to the tip of Craig at frostycoolslug dot com:
If you are using fulltext functionality on columns with uuencoded texts, collations will not work. You might prefer to pass the text escaped to the database engine.
convert_uuencodeDescriptionstring convert_uuencode ( string data )convert_uuencode() encodes a string using the uuencode algorithm. Uuencode translates all strings (including binary's ones) into printable characters, making them safe for network transmissions. Uuencoded data is about 35% larger than the original.
See also convert_uudecode() and base64_encode().
