===== Syntax =====

<code php>string convert_uudecode(string $str)</code>

//(PHP 4, PHP 5)//

^ $str | The string value to be decoded |
^ RETURNS | Returns the uudecoded character string. |
  
===== What it Does =====

UU Encoding is a special character coding which is used on Usenet newsgroups to encode file attachments and inline images.  It's not too efficient (only using 6 of the available 7 bits in the ASCII table) which is why a newer standard (yENC) has been adopted.

When passed a string containing UU encoded text, this function will decode the string and return the original data (unencoded.)

===== Example =====

<code php>
echo convert_uudecode($input);
</code>
