The convert_uuencode() function encodes a string using the uuencode algorithm.
Note: This function encodes all strings (including binary) into printable characters. This will fix any problems with obscure binary data when storing in a database or transmit data over a network. Remember to use the convert_uudecode() function before using the data again.
Note: Uuencoded data is about 35% larger than the original.
