Description

number bindec ( string binary_string )

Returns the decimal equivalent of the binary number represented by the binary_string argument.

bindec() converts a binary number to an integer. The largest number that can be converted is 31 bits of 1's or 2147483647 in decimal. As of PHP 4.1.0, this function can also convert larger numbers. It returns float in that case.

Пример 1. bindec() example

<?php echo bindec('110011') . "\n"; echo bindec('000110011') . "\n"; echo bindec('111'); ?>
Результат выполнения данного примера:
51 51 7

decbin('1001') is prefered as decbin(1001). 



Because on larger bit string, it may cause problem :



decbin(100000000000000) return 3

else

decbin('100000000000000') return 16384

i think a better method than the "shift-method" is my method ^^...

here it comes:



function convert2bin($string) {

     $finished=0;

     $base=1;

     if(preg_match("/[^0-9]/", $string)) {

         for($i=0; $string!=chr($i); $i++);

         $dec_nr=$i;

     }

     else $dec_nr=$string;

     while($dec_nr>$base) {

         $base=$base*2;

         if($base>$dec_nr) {

             $base=$base/2;

             break;

         }

     }

     while(!$finished) {

         if(($dec_nr-$base)>0) {

             $dec_nr=$dec_nr-$base;

             $bin_nr.=1;

             $base=$base/2;

         }

         elseif(($dec_nr-$base)<0) {

             $bin_nr.=0;

             $base=$base/2;

         }

         elseif(($dec_nr-$base)==0) {

             $bin_nr.=1;

             $finished=1;

             while($base>1) {    

                 $bin_nr.=0;

                 $base=$base/2;

             }

         }

     }

     return $bin_nr;

 }



=====================================================



if you want to reconvert it (from binary to string or integer) you can use this function: 



function reconvert($bin_nr) {

     $base=1;

     $dec_nr=0;

     $bin_nr=explode(",", preg_replace("/(.*),/", "$1", str_replace("1", "1,", str_replace("0", "0,", $bin_nr))));

     for($i=1; $i<count($bin_nr); $i++) $base=$base*2;

     foreach($bin_nr as $key=>$bin_nr_bit) {

         if($bin_nr_bit==1) {

             $dec_nr+=$base;

             $base=$base/2;

         }

         if($bin_nr_bit==0) $base=$base/2;

     }

     return(array("string"=>chr($dec_nr), "int"=>$dec_nr));

 }

## calculate binary with "shift-method" ##



<?php

function dec2bin($decimal_code){

 for($half=($decimal_code);$half>=1;$half=(floor($half))/2){

   if(($half%2)!=0){

    $y.=1;

   }

   else{

    $y.=0;

   }

  }

 $calculated_bin=strrev($y);

 return $calculated_bin;

}

?>



## example ##



[bin] 123 = [dec] 1111011



e.g.

123/2 = 61,5 => 1

61/2  = 30,5 => 1

30/2  = 15   => 0

15/2  = 7,5  => 1

7/2   = 3,5  => 1

3/2   = 1,5  => 1

1/2   = 0,5  => 1

(0/2   = 0    finish)

> The special reason 4 this is:

> (010) is an integer, left 0 is null, eg 010 = 10

> ('010') is a string, eg '010' = '010'



In binary, just like with decimals, the left 0's are nulls.



in Decimal:  010 = 10

in Binary:    010 = 10 too :o)



> echo decbin(bindec(010010010)); 

> returns 101000 



010010010 is a octal number. It's eq. to 2101256 (decimal). decbin(bindec(010010010)) is 101000 because 010010010 = 2101256.



That's all =)

For converting larger-than-31-bit numbers:



<?php

function Bin2Dec($binstring) {

    for ($i=0;$i<strlen($binstring);$i++) {

        $decvalue += ((int) substr($binstring, strlen($binstring) - $i - 1, 1)) * pow(2, $i);

    }

    return $decvalue;

}

?>

[Editor's Note:

Numeric values starting with 0 are interpreted as octal (base eight) values.  For example: 0101 is converts to 65

i was quite confused while werking with those bindec()/decbin() functions..

while

echo decbin(bindec(1));

echo decbin(bindec(10));

echo decbin(bindec(101));

just worked like expected,

echo decbin(bindec(010));

returns just 0

and for any reason

echo decbin(bindec(010010010));

returns 101000



i dont think this is a bug (maybe theres some special reason 4 this?), but it took  a certain time till i noticed that

echo decbin(bindec("010010010"));

works fine ...



hope this helps ne1.
