in reply to how to decode md5_base64 encoded data to get original data

You can think of a digest algorithm as being a bit like the human digestive system.

The human digestive system takes an input (food), and produces an output (excrement). You cannot turn the output back into the original input. And even if you could, you probably shouldn't be doing that.
