hexdec

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

hexdecHexadezimal zu Dezimal Umwandlung

Beschreibung

number hexdec ( string $hex_string )

Wandelt den hexadezimal kodierten Eingabestring hex_string in einen Dezimalwert um.

hexdec() ignoriert alle nicht hexadezimal kodierten Zeichen (0-9 a-f) in hex_string.

Parameter-Liste

hex_string

Der zu konvertierende Hexadezimalstring

Rückgabewerte

Dezimaldarstellung von hex_string

Changelog

Version Beschreibung
Seit 4.1.0 Die Funktion kann nun auch Werte umwandeln, die zu groß für den integer Typ der jeweiligen Plattform sind, das Ergebnis wird dann als float zurückgegeben.

Beispiele

Beispiel #1 hexdec() Beispiel

<?php
var_dump
(hexdec("See"));
var_dump(hexdec("ee"));
// both print "int(238)"

var_dump(hexdec("that")); // print "int(10)"
var_dump(hexdec("a0")); // print "int(160)"
?>

If you want to create or parse signed Hex strings:

<?php
// $d should be an int
function sdechex($d) { return ($d<0) ? ('-' . dechex(-$d)) : dechex($d); }

// $h should be a string
function shexdec($h) { return ($h[0] === '-') ? -('0x' . substr($h,1) + 0) : ('0x' . $h + 0); }

// test
$h = sdechex(-123); // string(3) "-7b"
$d = shexdec($h);   // int(-123)
var_dump($h, $d);
?>

Also note that ('0x' . $hexstr + 0) is faster than hexdec()
(Tested on PHP v5.2.17)

Here is other function to transform a MAC Address to decimal:

<?php
function get_mac_decimal($mac) {
   
$clear_mac = preg_replace('/[^0-9A-F]/i','',$mac);
   
$mac_decimal = array();
    for (
$i = 0; $i < strlen($clear_mac); $i += 2 ):
       
$mac_decimal[] = hexdec(substr($clear_mac, $i, 2));
    endfor;
    return
implode('.',$mac_decimal);
}

Here's a short example to convert strings between hex and chars:

<?php
print hextostr("616E647940686176656C616E642E636F6D")."\n";

print
strtohex("Knowledge is power")."\n";

function
hextostr($x) {
 
$s='';
  foreach(
explode("\n",trim(chunk_split($x,2))) as $h) $s.=chr(hexdec($h));
  return(
$s);
}

function
strtohex($x) {
 
$s='';
  foreach(
str_split($x) as $c) $s.=sprintf("%02X",ord($c));
  return(
$s);
}
?>

Use this function to convert a hexa decimal color code to its RGB equivalent. Unlike many other functions provided here, it will work correctly with hex color short hand notation.

Also, if a proper hexa decimal color value is given (6 digits), it uses bit wise operations for faster results.

For eg: #FFF and #FFFFFF will produce the same result

<?php
/**
 * Convert a hexa decimal color code to its RGB equivalent
 *
 * @param string $hexStr (hexadecimal color value)
 * @param boolean $returnAsString (if set true, returns the value separated by the separator character. Otherwise returns associative array)
 * @param string $seperator (to separate RGB values. Applicable only if second parameter is true.)
 * @return array or string (depending on second parameter. Returns False if invalid hex color value)
 */                                                                                                
function hex2RGB($hexStr, $returnAsString = false, $seperator = ',') {
   
$hexStr = preg_replace("/[^0-9A-Fa-f]/", '', $hexStr); // Gets a proper hex string
   
$rgbArray = array();
    if (
strlen($hexStr) == 6) { //If a proper hex code, convert using bitwise operation. No overhead... faster
       
$colorVal = hexdec($hexStr);
       
$rgbArray['red'] = 0xFF & ($colorVal >> 0x10);
       
$rgbArray['green'] = 0xFF & ($colorVal >> 0x8);
       
$rgbArray['blue'] = 0xFF & $colorVal;
    } elseif (
strlen($hexStr) == 3) { //if shorthand notation, need some string manipulations
       
$rgbArray['red'] = hexdec(str_repeat(substr($hexStr, 0, 1), 2));
       
$rgbArray['green'] = hexdec(str_repeat(substr($hexStr, 1, 1), 2));
       
$rgbArray['blue'] = hexdec(str_repeat(substr($hexStr, 2, 1), 2));
    } else {
        return
false; //Invalid hex color code
   
}
    return
$returnAsString ? implode($seperator, $rgbArray) : $rgbArray; // returns the rgb string or the associative array
} ?>

OUTPUT:

hex2RGB("#FF0") -> array( red =>255, green => 255, blue => 0)
hex2RGB("#FFFF00) -> Same as above
hex2RGB("#FF0", true) -> 255,255,0
hex2RGB("#FF0", true, ":") -> 255:255:0

Here My version of converting a hex string to a signed decimal value:

<?php

function hexdecs($hex)
{
   
// ignore non hex characters
   
$hex = preg_replace('/[^0-9A-Fa-f]/', '', $hex);
   
   
// converted decimal value:
   
$dec = hexdec($hex);
   
   
// maximum decimal value based on length of hex + 1:
    //   number of bits in hex number is 8 bits for each 2 hex -> max = 2^n
    //   use 'pow(2,n)' since '1 << n' is only for integers and therefore limited to integer size.
   
$max = pow(2, 4 * (strlen($hex) + (strlen($hex) % 2)));
   
   
// complement = maximum - converted hex:
   
$_dec = $max - $dec;
   
   
// if dec value is larger than its complement we have a negative value (first bit is set)
   
return $dec > $_dec ? -$_dec : $dec;

I made these functions to pack up to 64 ID's into a mysql unsigned bigint.

ID's cannot repeat, must be <= bit's limit and > 0.

The functions uses php 32 bit's int as unsigned because we don't actually read the number, just the bits. Then 0xFFFFFFFF display -1 but the bit's are there (tested with linux 2.6 i686 and x86_64)

This is an other way to make hex to bin conversions:

<?php
function hexbin($hex, $padding = false)
{
   
// Validation
   
$hex = preg_replace('/^(0x|X)?/i', '', $hex);
   
$hex = preg_replace('/[[:blank:]]/', '', $hex);
    if(empty(
$hex))
    {
       
$hex = '0';
    }
    if(!
preg_match('/^[0-9A-F]*$/i', $hex))
    {
       
trigger_error('Argument is not a hex', E_USER_WARNING);
        return
false;
    }
   
   
// Conversion
   
$bin = '';
   
$hex = array_reverse(str_split($hex));
    foreach(
$hex as $n)
    {
       
$n = hexdec($n);
        for(
$i = 1; $i <= 8; $i <<= 1)
        {
           
$bin .= ($i & $n)? '1' : '0';
        }
        if(
$padding)
        {
           
$bin .= ' ';
        }
    }
    return
ltrim(strrev($bin));
}

// Tests
echo "<b>Debug:</b> <pre>";

// Randomly choosed padded number
var_dump(hexbin('00FF FF8F 7F3F FF1F', true));
// string(79) "0000 0000 1111 1111 1111 1111 1000 1111 0111 1111 0011 1111 1111 1111 0001 1111"

// Yellow RGB
var_dump(hexbin('0xF8F800'));
// string(24) "111110001111100000000000"

// Green RGB (padded)
var_dump(hexbin('0x008800', true));
//string(29) "0000 0000 1000 1000 0000 0000"

hexdec doesn't accept numbers following the period.
What if you have a number like c20.db18?
<?php
function floatinghexdec($str)
{
    list(
$intgr,$hex)=explode('.',$str,2);
   
$intgr=ereg_replace("[^A-Fa-f0-9]", "", $intgr);
   
$hex=ereg_replace("[^A-Fa-f0-9]", "", $hex);
   
$answer=0;
    for(
$i=0;$i < strlen($hex); $i++)
    {
       
$digit=hexdec(substr($hex,$i,1))/16;   // .f is 15/16 because in decimal .9 is 9/10
       
$answer += $digit/pow(16,$i);
    }
return
hexdec($intgr)+$answer;
}

echo
floatinghexdec("ff.ff");//255.99609375

One of my favourite, multi-purpose, bidirectional solution I wrote many years ago:

function bgr2rgb($cr) {  // bidirectional
    return (($cr & 0x0000FF) << 16 | ($cr & 0x00FF00) | ($cr & 0xFF0000) >> 16);
}

Which you might want to use as :

function hex2cr($hex) {  // strips any leading characters, like #
    return bgr2rgb(hexdec($hex));
}

function cr2hex($cr) { // the usual HTML format, #rrggbb
    return '#'.str_pad(strtoupper(dechex(bgr2rgb($cr))), 6, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT);
}

And, if like me you tend to mistype function names, the synonym :

function rgb2bgr($val) { return bgr2rgb($val); }

Reply To Halit Yesil's script:

Great Function!! But, there's a problem with your script if the user passes something with three letters/numbers (eg/ #000).  You need to use str_repeat to duplicate each character.

                if($l == 3){
                    unset($out);
                    $out[0] = $out['r'] = $out['red'] = hexdec(str_repeat(substr($c, 0,1),2));
                    $out[1] = $out['g'] = $out['green'] = hexdec(str_repeat(substr($c, 1,1),2));
                    $out[2] = $out['b'] = $out['blue'] = hexdec(str_repeat(substr($c, 2,1),2));
                }

This tiny function will return foreground colors (either black or white) in contrast to the color you provide:

<?php

function getContrastColor($color)
{
    return (
hexdec($color) > 0xffffff/2) ? '000000' : 'ffffff';
}

?>

This function will return the opposite (negative):

<?php

function negativeColor($color)
{
   
//get red, green and blue
   
$r = substr($color, 0, 2);
   
$g = substr($color, 2, 2);
   
$b = substr($color, 4, 2);
   
   
//revert them, they are decimal now
   
$r = 0xff-hexdec($r);
   
$g = 0xff-hexdec($g);
   
$b = 0xff-hexdec($b);
   
   
//now convert them to hex and return.
   
return dechex($r).dechex($g).dechex($b);
}

A handy little function to convert HEX colour codes to "web safe" colours...

<?php

function color_mkwebsafe ( $in )
{
  
// put values into an easy-to-use array
  
$vals['r'] = hexdec( substr($in, 0, 2) );
  
$vals['g'] = hexdec( substr($in, 2, 2) );
  
$vals['b'] = hexdec( substr($in, 4, 2) );

  
// loop through
  
foreach( $vals as $val )
   {
      
// convert value
      
$val = ( round($val/51) * 51 );
      
// convert to HEX
      
$out .= str_pad(dechex($val), 2, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT);
   }

   return
$out;
}

?>

Example: color_mkwebsafe('0e5c94');
Produces: 006699

Hope this helps someone out... Happy coding. :-)

This function will take a hex $color, e.g. fa34bc and make it the shade you want, e.g. anywhere between 0 and 255. The smaller the number, the darker the output color.  It keeps the color the same, only changing the shade.  

function correctshade($color, $shade)
{
$r = hexdec(substr($color,0,2));
$g = hexdec(substr($color,2,2));
$b = hexdec(substr($color,4,2));
$sum = ($r + $g + $b);
$x = (($shade * 3) - $sum) / $sum;
if ($x >= 0) {
$x = $x + 1;
} else {
$x = 1 + $x;
}
$r = intval($x * $r);
$g = intval($x * $g);
$b = intval($x * $b);
$r = dechex($r);
$g = dechex($g);
$b = dechex($b);
return $r.$g.$b;
}

I needed to get the opposite colors so my website would be soft on the eyes.

<?php
function OppositeHex($color)
{
$r = dechex(255 - hexdec(substr($color,0,2)));
$r = (strlen($r) > 1) ? $r : '0'.$r;
$g = dechex(255 - hexdec(substr($color,2,2)));
$g = (strlen($g) > 1) ? $g : '0'.$g;
$b = dechex(255 - hexdec(substr($color,4,2)));
$b = (strlen($b) > 1) ? $b : '0'.$b;
return
$r.$g.$b;
}

//Example
$color = '000000';
echo
'The opposite of #'.$color.' is #'.OppositeHex($color).;

I made this for a little phpbb mod.  It was used to take the hex value from the database and make a color 20 (in decimal) less, resulting a darker color.

EXAMPLE: #336699 to #1f5285

<?php

$row1
= "336699"; // color
$c = 20;          // difference value

$rgb = array(substr($row1,0,2), substr($row1,2,2), substr($row1,4,2));

for(
$i=0; $i < 3; $i++)
{
  if((
hexdec($rgb[$i])-$c) >= 0)
  {
  
$rgb[$i] = hexdec($rgb[$i])-$c;

  
$rgb[$i] = dechex($rgb[$i]);
    if(
hexdec($rgb[0]) <= 9)
    
$rgb[$i] = "0".$rgb[$i];
  } else {
   
$rgb[$i] = "00";
  }
}

$row2 = $rgb[0].$rgb[1].$rgb[2];

since i couldn't find one, here's an HEX to ASCII converter..

(takes HEX strings (in ASCII) and converts each two digit HEX code into it's ASCII equivalent)

function hex2ascii($str)
{
    $p = '';
    for ($i=0; $i < strlen($str); $i=$i+2)
    {
        $p .= chr(hexdec(substr($str, $i, 2)));
    }
    return $p;
}

Bullet-proof hex-to-rgb colour converter like brian at sagesport dot com wanted, just far fewer code lines. As a bonus, gives you the ability to return as string or array:

<?php
   
function &hex2rgb($hex, $asString = true)
    {
       
// strip off any leading #
       
if (0 === strpos($hex, '#')) {
           
$hex = substr($hex, 1);
        } else if (
0 === strpos($hex, '&H')) {
           
$hex = substr($hex, 2);
        }      

       
// break into hex 3-tuple
       
$cutpoint = ceil(strlen($hex) / 2)-1;
       
$rgb = explode(':', wordwrap($hex, $cutpoint, ':', $cutpoint), 3);

       
// convert each tuple to decimal
       
$rgb[0] = (isset($rgb[0]) ? hexdec($rgb[0]) : 0);
       
$rgb[1] = (isset($rgb[1]) ? hexdec($rgb[1]) : 0);
       
$rgb[2] = (isset($rgb[2]) ? hexdec($rgb[2]) : 0);

        return (
$asString ? "{$rgb[0]} {$rgb[1]} {$rgb[2]}" : $rgb);
    }
?>

Handles 2, 3, and 6 character colour codes with leading # or &H.

I found it helpful to have the inverse / reverse of this function laying around, since I wanted to insert some binary data into an xmlrpc call (it currently craps out when you do that), and I couldn't find one laying around, so here's a simple little function to do that:

function hex2bin($str) {
    $build = '';
    while(strlen($str) > 1) {
        $build .= chr(hexdec(substr($str, 0, 2)));
        $str = substr($str, 2, strlen($str)-2);
    }
    return $build;
}

To convert a cellular ESN from hexadecimal to decimal, use the following code. The base conversion is different due to the fact that the first two characters of a hexadecimal value must be converted seperately from the remaining six characters.
<?
function esnhexdec($hex){
  
$a = sprintf("%03d", hexdec(substr($hex, 0, 2)));
  
$b = sprintf("%08d", hexdec(substr($hex, 2, 6)));
   return
$a . $b;
}

The issue I've seen with the existing hex to dec conversion routines is the lack of error-trapping.  I stick to the theory that one should try to cover ALL the bases when writing a generalized routine such as this one.  I have a varied background that covers a wide variety of design/development languages, on the web as well as desktop apps.  As such I've seen multiple formats for writing hex colors.

For example, the color red COULD be written as follows:
#ff0000
&Hff0000
#ff
&Hff

Therefore I have written a function that is case-insensitive and takes into account the chance that different developers have a tendency to format hex colors in different ways.

<?php
 
function convert_color($hex){
   
$len = strlen($hex);
   
$chars = array("#","&","H","h");

/*
    To use simply use the following function call:
      $color = convert_color("#FF");
      this will return the following assoc array if successful:
      *[success] = true
      *[r] = 255
      *[g] = 0
      *[b] = 0

      or copy and paste the following code:
     
      $hex = "FFFFFF"; // Color White
      $color = convert_color($hex);
      var_dump($color);
 */
?>

As you can see, the function "convert_color" accepts a hex # in most acceptable formats and returns an associative array.  [success] is set to TRUE if the function succeeds and FALSE if not.  The array members [r], [g] and [b] hold the red,green and blue values respectively.  If it fails, [error] holds a custom error message.

"strip_chars" is a support function written to remove the unwanted characters from the hex string, and sends the concatenated string back to the calling function.  It will accept either a single value or an array of values for the characters to remove.

It's just a revision to marfastic's ligten_up script, it simply adds/subtracts mod_color to orig_color.
I use it often to adjust tonals rather than brightness only

<?
function mod_color($orig_color, $mod, $mod_color){
   
/*
        $orig_color - original html color, hex
        $mod_color - modifying color, hex
        $mod - modifier '+' or '-'
        usage: mod_color('CCCCCC', '+', '000033')
    */
    // does quick validation
   
preg_match("/([0-9]|[A-F]){6}/i",$orig_color,$orig_arr);
   
preg_match("/([0-9]|[A-F]){6}/i",$mod_color,$mod_arr);
    if (
$orig_arr[0] && $mod_arr[0]) {
        for (
$i=0; $i<6; $i=$i+2) {
           
$orig_x = substr($orig_arr[0],$i,2);
           
$mod_x = substr($mod_arr[0],$i,2);
            if (
$mod == '+') { $new_x = hexdec($orig_x) + hexdec($mod_x); }
            else {
$new_x = hexdec($orig_x) - hexdec($mod_x); }
            if (
$new_x < 0) { $new_x = 0; }
            else if (
$new_x > 255) { $new_x = 255; };
           
$new_x = dechex($new_x);
           
$ret .= $new_x;
        }
        return
$ret;
    } else { return
false; }
}

I wondered long time what is the best way to generate RGB-color from HEX-color, and just now i found the simpliest way!

<?php
$hex
= "FF00FF";
$rgb = hexdec($hex); // 16711935
?>

I hope this will save your time! :)

Here is a function to brighten up any color:

function lighten_up($orig_color, $fraction_denom){
            // return the color between the color and white
            // based on the fraction denom that is passed
           
            if(!isset($fraction_denom))
                $fraction_denom = 2;
            $highest_val = hexdec("FF");
            $r = hexdec(substr($orig_color,0,2));
            $r = ($highest_val-$r)/$fraction_denom + $r;
            $g = hexdec(substr($orig_color,2,2));
            $g = ($highest_val-$g)/$fraction_denom + $g;
            $b = hexdec(substr($orig_color,4,2));
            $b = ($highest_val-$b)/$fraction_denom + $b;
            return dechex($r) . dechex($g) . dechex($b);
        }

Damn, this took me some real long time! Maybe it's helpfull for those who even have no idea of color-Schemes like me ;)

If u want to generate PDF's for Print Offices u need to set all the colors in CMYK.

Here is a Function that will convert RGB to CMYK

<?
function hex2rgb($hex) {
 
$color = str_replace('#','',$hex);
 
$rgb = array('r' => hexdec(substr($color,0,2)),
              
'g' => hexdec(substr($color,2,2)),
              
'b' => hexdec(substr($color,4,2)));
  return
$rgb;
}

function
rgb2cmyk($var1,$g=0,$b=0) {
   if(
is_array($var1)) {
     
$r = $var1['r'];
     
$g = $var1['g'];
     
$b = $var1['b'];
   }
   else
$r=$var1;
  
$cyan    = 255 - $r;
  
$magenta = 255 - $g;
  
$yellow  = 255 - $b;
  
$black   = min($cyan, $magenta, $yellow);
  
$cyan    = @(($cyan    - $black) / (255 - $black)) * 255;
  
$magenta = @(($magenta - $black) / (255 - $black)) * 255;
  
$yellow  = @(($yellow  - $black) / (255 - $black)) * 255;
   return array(
'c' => $cyan / 255,
               
'm' => $magenta / 255,
               
'y' => $yellow / 255,
               
'k' => $black / 255);
}

$color=rgb2cmyk(hex2rgb('#FF0000'));
pdf_setcolor($pdf, "both", "cmyk", $color['c'], $color['m'], $color['y'], $color['k']);
?>

U can call it with parameters (r,g,b) or just with an array(r,g,b) that contains these values.

Hope it works correct. All testing was fine.

Another hex to decimal converter, up to the precision of PHP floats.

function longhex($hex)
{
    $dec = 0;
    $bitval = 1;
    for($pos = 1; $pos <= strlen($hex); $pos++) {
        $dec += hexdec(substr($hex, -$pos, 1)) * $bitval;
        $bitval *= 16;
    }
    return($dec);
}

Function to convert a string with hexadecimal colors to an associative array with RGB values:

<?
function hex2dec($hex) {
 
$color = str_replace('#', '', $hex);
 
$ret = array(
   
'r' => hexdec(substr($color, 0, 2)),
   
'g' => hexdec(substr($color, 2, 2)),
   
'b' => hexdec(substr($color, 4, 2))
  );
  return
$ret;
}

/*** Example:
print_r(hex2dec('3D58BE'));

or

print_r(hex2dec('#3D58BE'));

will return

Array
(
  [r] => 61
  [g] => 88
  [b] => 190
)
***/
?>

Thanks !

Here's another hex2bin variant, works pretty well to me.

function hex2bin($hexdata) {
  
   for ($i=0;$i<strlen($hexdata);$i+=2) {
      $bindata.=chr(hexdec(substr($hexdata,$i,2)));
   }
  
   return $bindata;
}

hexdec from 4.1.0 onwards does not show
the same size limitation and therefore
works differently with large numbers than previous php versions.

To obtain the same results, use:

(int) hexdec (...)

For hex numbers larger than 7FFFFFFF (E.G. PalmOS dates in seconds elapsed since 01/01/1904), I came up with this:

<?php
function bighexdec($hexnumber){

   
$numlength = strlen($hexnumber);

   
$decnumber = 0;

    for(
$x = 1; $x <= $numlength; $x++){

       
$place = $numlength - $x;
       
       
$operand = hexdec(substr($hexnumber,$place,1));
           
       
$exponent = pow(16,$x-1);

       
$decValue = $operand * $exponent;
   
       
$decnumber += $decValue;

    }
    return
$decnumber;
}
?>
