The PHP folks got bit pretty badly by the ad-infinitum-cat-and-mouse
quoting problems when trying to store 8-bit data into a DB.  Nice thing
about base64 data is it NEVER needs escaping to avoid SQL special
characters since they don't exist in base64's encoding set. [A-Za-z0-9]
which is 62 characters and only a couple or so more needed and it is EASY
to find a few extras that aren't SQL characters with special meaning.
