Base64_decode problem

[Anon]

Hello,

I have written a script that accepts a log (using HTTP_POST_VARS) and writes its contents to a file.
Unfortunately the log is base 64 encoded.

Does anybody know how I could decode the log first before I write its contents to a file?
Is it possible to do something like:
$mydata=base64_decode($HTTP_POST_VARS); ?

Bear in mind that this log is not sent from a web form, but rather from a remote PC (it is a system administration log.)

BTW, Thank you Scott for helping me with my previous query.

THANKS!!

I don't see the problem. There is base64_decode() function (check the manual)

To decode ALL post vars:

foreach($HTTP_POST_VARS as $key => $value)
$HTTP_POST_VARS[$key] = base64_decode($value);

To decode ONE post var

$HTTP_POST_VARS["varname"] = base64_decode($HTTP_POST_VARS["varname"]);
