Hi Everyone,
I was just studying some WP code so i found one code as below:

XML

<?php $xml='PGRpdiBzdHlsZT0icG9zaXRpb246IGFic29sdXRlOyB0b3A6IDBweDsgbGVmdDogLTcwMDBweDsiPlRlbXBsYXRlcyBieSA8YSB0YXJnZXQ9Il9ibGFuayIgaHJlZj0iaHR0cDovL2JpZ3RoZW1lLm5ldC8iPkJJR3RoZW1lIE5FVDwvYT48L2Rpdj4=';
 echo base64_decode($xml);?>

At the time of echoing this code i found this like

HTML

<div style="removed: absolute; removed 0px; removed -7000px;">Templates by <a href="http://bigtheme.net/" target="_blank">BIGtheme NET</a></div>

And HTML OUT PUT
IS>> Templates by BIGtheme.NET

SO MY QUESTION IS HOW CAN I CODE LIKE THIS TOO?

Thank in advance. :)

Solution 2

1) Anything like this is useless. Base64 encoding is no encryption. It makes any 8-bit data transmittable over legacy 7-bit channel (making the string only from printable ascii characters).
2) There is nowhere any "conversion" to xml.
3) If you want base64 encoded string, you can use Notepad++ built in plugin, or you can use online tools, like this: https://www.base64decode.org/[^]

base 64 is 6 bits

Right, it is using only the printable subset of ASCII, but the goal with it was to make the message fit into the 7-bit ASCII.

Rather simple:
First, you have to create the code from what will be the result later.

PHP

<?php $xml='<div style="removed: absolute; removed 0px; removed -7000px;">Templates by <a href="http://bigtheme.net/" target="_blank">BIGtheme NET</a></div>';<br mode="hold" /?> echo base64_encode($xml);?>

which gives you

Then you copy/paste the result in

PHP

<?php $xml='Paste here';<br mode="hold" /?> echo base64_decode($xml);?>
