base64, all the 8-bit stuff in the Openldap DIT is base64 - though some 
attributes have a ';binary' addition before the '::' denoting base64 
(for example .der coded certificates).

BTW, you're in for a lovely time if you're just starting the PHP4 
coding. I had to jump through many hoops when I started on that jpeg stuff.

Good luck!
