passing an encoded url ..

Just strip out line breaks in the function.

Have you thought of putting the urls into a db and then passing it around as an id?

I'm not supposed to make it that complicated. If I don't have line breaks in the original text then they won't be in the encoded version ?

Not sure, never heard of line breaks being in base64 encoded data.

I think it may mean if you exceed 255 characters in the encoded string it adds line breaks
