base64_decode

  • In Ruby, we use the Base64 class to decode data using a base 64 representation. We first need to require the Base64 library using require "base64". This is similar to using require_once to include a class in PHP.

    To get the equivalent result of PHP’s base64_decode function, we’ll use the Base64.decode64 class method.

    PHP

    $result = base64_decode('SGVsbG8gd29ybGQ=');
var_export($result);
// => 'Hello world'

    Ruby

    require 'base64'
 
p Base64.decode64("SGVsbG8gd29ybGQ=")
# => "Hello world"
