converting a number base 10 to base 62 (a-zA-Z0-9)

Question

I have a number in base 10. Is there anyway to translate it to a base 62?

Example:

echo convert(12324324);
// returns Yg3 (fantasy example here)
         


        

Answer 1

function convertBase10ToBase62($num){
    $charset="0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
    $endChar=$charset[$num%62];
    $rtn="";

    if ( $num == "62" ) { 
        $rtn=$rtn.$charset[1]; 
    } else if ( $num >= 62 ) { 
        $rtn=$rtn.$charset[intval($num/62)%62+1]; 
    }

    $num=intval($num/62);

    while ($num > 61) {
        if ( is_int($num/62) == true ) { 
            $rtn=$rtn.$charset[0]; 
        } else { 
            $rtn=$rtn.$charset[$num%62]; 
        }

        $num=intval($num/62);
    }
    $rtn=$rtn.$endChar;
    echo "\n";
    echo $rtn;

    return $rtn;
}
