now how can i use if please?

Use it in what sense, you will need to describe how you want to use it and what you are using it for. If you just want to decode it:

 

$decoded = base64_decode($string);

 

Where $string is the aWY....

I think he's trying to execute the Base64 code, that's what I got out of it, but of course he wasn't being clear, but the deciphered Base64 he posed was just the code he posted. So...

i mean execute it how? i have converted it into base64 already now i want to access the act=frm

What the heck are you talking about? What did you convert into base64 and why did you do that?

this code is what i converted into base64

 

this

if($act==frm){
$act = $_GET['act'];
echo 'test';
}else{
}

 

the output is this

my question is how can i apply to my php script and also execute the sct=frm and get the

echo 'test';

I do not recommend this, especially without validating the data in the base64 first.

 

$act = 'frm';
eval(base64_decode($string));

 

Should do it.

Is this supposed to be security through obfuscation or something? Because turning PHP into base64 and then executing it isn't really gaining you anything.

i am trying to include something from my server to another and keep doing changes time to time and do not want others to be able to change anything in the script act=frm

$act = 'frm';
$string = ."aWYoJGFjdD09ZnJtKXsNCiRhY3QgPSAkX0dFVFsnYWN0J107DQplY2hvICd0ZXN0JzsNCn1lbHNlew0KfQ==";
eval(base64_decode($string));

You do not HAVE to, I just wrote that there as a general demonstration, but by all means test it. Test it every which way you want that is how you learn!

It would take me an extra 3 minutes to get around this security restriction of yours.

 

Plus, I would never allow anyone to send me obfuscated code and expect me to run it.

 

If this is a real problem, a sternly worded email would be more effective than this.

Pretty much. Encoding code as base64 does nothing to secure it. Base64, in particular, is such a common method that it's easily recognizable and easily thwarted.

agree but this is the only way to get my work done else noway

What is the actual problem? Spell it out with capital letters and punctuation so we can understand it. Then we can give you a real solution.

 

Once again, we need you to understand this: What you're doing accomplishes nothing as far as we understand your problem.
