I am trying to find a php solution to encoding an md5 hex string into
another base.

Using ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890 as a
characters for a base 62
i.e.
A = 1
a = 27
0 = 62
00 = 3844
000 = 238328

This should make the hex string much shorter.

1. Does anyone understand what I'm trying to do here?
2. Has this wheel already been invented?
3. Any ideas about the most efficient way to encode and decode this kind of
thing?

Thanks,

Nel
