WireRandom::base64()

Generate a truly random base64 string of a certain length

This is largely taken from Anthony Ferrara's password_compat library: https://github.com/ircmaxell/password_compat/blob/master/lib/password.php Modified for camelCase, variable names, and function-based context by Ryan.

// basic usage
$string = $wireRandom->base64();

// usage with all arguments
$string = $wireRandom->base64(int $requiredLength = 22, $options = []);

`$requiredLength` (optional)	`int`	Length of string you want returned Default:22
`$options` (optional)	`array` `bool`	Specify array of options or boolean to specify only `fast` option. `fast` (bool): Use fastest, not cryptographically secure method Default:false `test` (bool\|array): Return tests in a string (bool true), or specify array(true) to return tests array Default:false Note that if the test option is used, then the fast option is disabled.

$requiredLength (optional)

int
