How can I encode google to Z29vZ2xl in PHP?

Another sample:

yahoo - eWFob28

Do you know how to convert? I'm not family with php. Any help will be highly appeciated.

Do you need those exact strings? If so, set up a routine that will do the translation:

if ($input=="google") {
$engine="Z29vZ2xl";
}
elseif ($input=="yahoo") {
$engine="eWFob28";
}

If you are simply looking to provide some encoding for any type of string that results in something hard to read, use md5():

$engine=md5($input);

Thanks! I have the answer now. Using base64 encode is what I need.
