Thanks, Regarding base64, strconv() does not give the answer I need. I was given this reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_authentication_scheme I was able to duplicate their result by using a batch file to run openssl. It is not quite as clean as I would like, but it works fine and is easy.
