rlp

Recursive Length Prefix Encoding in PHP.

Install

Set minimum stability to dev

composer require web3p/rlp

Usage

RLP encode:

use Web3p\RLP\RLP;

$rlp = new RLP;
// c483646f67
$encoded = $rlp->encode(['dog']);

// 83646f67
$encoded = $rlp->encode('dog');

RLP decode:

use Web3p\RLP\RLP;
use Web3p\RLP\Types\Str;

$rlp = new RLP;
$encoded = $rlp->encode(['dog']);

// only accept 0x prefixed hex string
$decoded = $rlp->decode('0x' . $encoded);

// show 646f67
echo $decoded[0];

// show dog
echo hex2bin($decoded[0]);

// or you can
echo Str::decodeHex($decoded[0]);
