hello all,
In servlet for encryption and decryption,i used bouncy castle light weight cryptography API to perform DES encryption of arbitrary data,which encrypts/decrypts,then the generated value are in bytes,i used base64 encoder/decoder to convert bytes into string.now the same task i want to do it in php?
pls help me how to do!

Hi there! I haven't heard of bouncy castle light weight cryptography, but php has many encryption techniques. There is base64_encode and base64_decode . You can also use sha1 or md5 encryption.
Remember! php.net is your php bible :)

You can also use the mcrypt extension, but I'm not sure whether it supports your requested method of encryption.

Mcrypt supports DES:
