AlphaID let you convert any integer to a short alphanumeric version. It can be useful for generating short, unique, and obfuscated identifiers.
These versions should all function harmoniously, allowing for encoding in one language and decoding in another.
PHP 7.3 and later.
You can install the bindings via Composer. Run the following command:
composer require devknown/alpha-id
To use the bindings, use Composer's autoload:
require_once('vendor/autoload.php');
Simple usage looks like:
// convert number to a short string
echo \Devknown\AlphaID::convert(258456357951); // Output: '4y7exoH'
// recover the original number from the short string
echo \Devknown\AlphaID::recover('4y7exoH'); // Output: 258456357951
Convert with key:
use Devknown\AlphaID;
AlphaID::config('my_key');
echo AlphaID::convert(258456357951);
// the output this time will be '4ymMZq9'
echo AlphaID::recover('4ymMZq9');
// the recover output this time will be 258456357951
