不可能检查一个字符串是否是base64编码的。只有当该字符串是base64编码的字符串格式时才有可能验证，这意味着它可能是由base64编码生成的字符串(为了验证这一点，可以根据regexp验证字符串，也可以使用库，这个问题的许多其他答案提供了很好的检查方法，所以我不会详细讨论)。

例如，string flow是一个有效的base64编码的字符串。但不可能知道它只是一个简单的字符串，一个英语单词流，还是它是以64为基数编码的字符串~Z0

PHP5试试这样做

//where $json is some data that can be base64 encoded
$json=some_data;

//this will check whether data is base64 encoded or not
if (base64_decode($json, true) == true)
{          
   echo "base64 encoded";          
}
else 
{
   echo "not base64 encoded"; 
}

在PHP7中使用这个

 //$string parameter can be base64 encoded or not

function is_base64_encoded($string){
 //this will check if $string is base64 encoded and return true, if it is.
 if (base64_decode($string, true) !== false){          
   return true;        
 }else{
   return false;
 }
}

我试着用这个，是的，这个有用

^([A-Za-z0-9+/]{4})*([A-Za-z0-9+/]{3}=|[A-Za-z0-9+/]{2}==)?$

但我添加了一个条件，检查至少字符的结尾是=

string.lastIndexOf("=") >= 0

Function Check_If_Base64(ByVal msgFile As String) As Boolean
Dim I As Long
Dim Buffer As String
Dim Car As String

Check_If_Base64 = True

Buffer = Leggi_File(msgFile)
Buffer = Replace(Buffer, vbCrLf, "")
For I = 1 To Len(Buffer)
    Car = Mid(Buffer, I, 1)
    If (Car < "A" Or Car > "Z") _
    And (Car < "a" Or Car > "z") _
    And (Car < "0" Or Car > "9") _
    And (Car <> "+" And Car <> "/" And Car <> "=") Then
        Check_If_Base64 = False
        Exit For
    End If
Next I
End Function
Function Leggi_File(PathAndFileName As String) As String
Dim FF As Integer
FF = FreeFile()
Open PathAndFileName For Binary As #FF
Leggi_File = Input(LOF(FF), #FF)
Close #FF
End Function

你可以:

检查长度是否为4个字符的倍数 检查每个字符都在A-Z, A-Z, 0-9， +， /集合中，除了末尾的填充为0,1或2 '='字符

如果你期望它是base64，那么你可以使用平台上可用的任何库来尝试将它解码为字节数组，如果它不是有效的base64则抛出异常。当然，这取决于你的平台。

var base64Rejex = /^(?:[A-Z0-9+\/]{4})*(?:[A-Z0-9+\/]{2}==|[A-Z0-9+\/]{3}=|[A-Z0-9+\/]{4})$/i;
var isBase64Valid = base64Rejex.test(base64Data); // base64Data is the base64 string

if (isBase64Valid) {
    // true if base64 formate
    console.log('It is base64');
} else {
    // false if not in base64 formate
    console.log('it is not in base64');
}
