Is there a way to use this with raw binary data, instead of integers?

I get this error String offset cast occurred in line:

$base58_string = self::$alphabet{$mod} . $base58_string;

becuase $mod is a float. The error seem to be fixed casting to integer.

I was getting the offset cast warning too. I figure in 2017 the 32bit proc concern was not relevant, so using % and intval() cured those warnings.

<?php
class base58
{
	static public $alphabet = "123456789abcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZ";

	public static function encode($int) {
		$base58_string = "";
		$base = strlen(self::$alphabet);
		while($int >= $base) {
			$div = floor($int / $base);
			$mod = $int % $base;
			$base58_string = self::$alphabet{$mod} . $base58_string;
			$int = $div;
		}
		if($int) $base58_string = self::$alphabet{intval($int)} . $base58_string;
		return $base58_string;
	}
	
	public static function decode($base58) {
		$int_val = 0;
		for($i=strlen($base58)-1,$j=1,$base=strlen(self::$alphabet);$i>=0;$i--,$j*=$base) {
			$int_val += $j * strpos(self::$alphabet, $base58{$i});
		}
		return $int_val;
	}
}
