ord

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

ord — Konvertiert das erste Byte einer Zeichenkette in einen Wert zwischen 0 und 255

Beschreibung

ord(string $character): int

Interpretiert den ASCII-Wert des ersten Bytes von character als vorzeichenlose Ganzzahl zwischen 0 und 255.

Liegt die Zeichenkette in einer Ein-Byte-Kodierung, wie ASCII, ISO-8859 oder Windows 1252, vor, ist dies gleichwertig zur Rückgabe der Position des Zeichens in der Zuordnungstabelle des Zeichensatzes. Allerdings ist zu beachten, dass diese Funktion keine Zeichenkettenkodierung kennt, und insbesondere niemals einen Unicode-Codepoint in einer Multibyte-Kodierung wie UTF-8 oder UTF-16 erkennt.

Die Funktion ist das Gegenstück zu chr().

Parameter-Liste

character: Ein Zeichen.

Rückgabewerte

Ein Integer zwischen 0 und 255.

Beispiele

Beispiel #1 ord()-Beispiel

<?php
$str = "\n";
if (ord($str) == 10) {
    echo "Das erste Zeichen von \$str ist ein Zeilenvorschub.\n";
}
?>

Beispiel #2 Untersuchen der einzelnen Bytes einer UTF-8-Zeichenkette

<?php
declare(encoding='UTF-8');
$str = "🐘";
for ( $pos=0; $pos < strlen($str); $pos ++ ) {
 $byte = substr($str, $pos);
 echo 'Byte ' . $pos . ' von $str hat den Wert ' . ord($byte) . PHP_EOL;
}
?>

Das oben gezeigte Beispiel erzeugt folgende Ausgabe:

Byte 0 von $str hat den Wert 240
Byte 1 von $str hat den Wert 159
Byte 2 von $str hat den Wert 144
Byte 3 von $str hat den Wert 152

As ord() doesn't work with utf-8, and if you do not have access to mb_* functions, the following function will work well:
<?php
function ordutf8($string, &$offset) {
    $code = ord(substr($string, $offset,1)); 
    if ($code >= 128) {        //otherwise 0xxxxxxx
        if ($code < 224) $bytesnumber = 2;                //110xxxxx
        else if ($code < 240) $bytesnumber = 3;        //1110xxxx
        else if ($code < 248) $bytesnumber = 4;    //11110xxx
        $codetemp = $code - 192 - ($bytesnumber > 2 ? 32 : 0) - ($bytesnumber > 3 ? 16 : 0);
        for ($i = 2; $i <= $bytesnumber; $i++) {
            $offset ++;
            $code2 = ord(substr($string, $offset, 1)) - 128;        //10xxxxxx
            $codetemp = $codetemp*64 + $code2;
        }
        $code = $codetemp;
    }
    $offset += 1;
    if ($offset >= strlen($string)) $offset = -1;
    return $code;
}
?>
$offset is a reference, as it is not easy to split a utf-8 char-by-char. Useful to iterate on a string:
<?php
$text = "abcàêß€abc";
$offset = 0;
while ($offset >= 0) {
    echo $offset.": ".ordutf8($text, $offset)."\n";
}
/* returns:
0: 97
1: 98
2: 99
3: 224
5: 234
7: 223
9: 8364
12: 97
13: 98
14: 99
*/
?>
Feel free to adapt my code to fit your needs.

this function convert UTF-8 string to RTF code string. I am using code of v0rbiz at yahoo dot com, thanks!!! 

function cadena_rtf($txt)
   {
      $result = null;

      for ($pos = 0; $pos < mb_strlen($txt); $pos++) {

         $char = mb_substr($txt, $pos, 1);

         if (!preg_match("/[A-Za-z1-9,.]/", $char)) {
            //unicode ord real!!!
            $k   = mb_convert_encoding($char, 'UCS-2LE', 'UTF-8');
            $k1  = ord(substr($k, 0, 1));
            $k2  = ord(substr($k, 1, 1));
            $ord = $k2 * 256 + $k1;

            if ($ord > 255) {
               $result .= '\uc1\u' . $ord . '*';
            } elseif ($ord > 32768) {
               $result .= '\uc1\u' . ($ord - 65535) . '*';
            } else {
               $result .= "\\'" . dechex($ord);
            }
         } else {
            $result .= $char;
         }
      }
      return $result;
   }

Regarding character sets, and whether or not this is "ASCII". Firstly, there is no such thing as "8-bit ASCII", so if it were ASCII it would only ever return integers up to 127. 8-bit ASCII-compatible encodings include the ISO 8859 family of encodings, which map various common characters to the values from 128 to 255. UTF-8 is also designed so that characters representable in 7-bit ASCII are coded the same; byte values higher than 127 in a UTF-8 string represent the beginning of a multi-byte character.

In fact, like most of PHP's string functions, this function isn't doing anything to do with character encoding at all - it is just interpreting a binary byte from a string as an unsigned integer. That is, ord(chr(200)) will always return 200, but what character chr(200) *means* will vary depending on what character encoding it is *interpreted* as part of (e.g. during display).

A technically correct description would be "Returns an integer representation of the first byte of a string, from 0 to 255. For single-byte encodings such as (7-bit) ASCII and the ISO 8859 family, this will correspond to the first character, and will be the position of that character in the encoding's mapping table. For multi-byte encodings, such as UTF-8 or UTF-16, the byte may not represent a complete character."

The link to asciitable.com should also be replaced by one which explains what character encoding it is displaying, as "Extended ASCII" is an ambiguous and misleading name.

I did not found a unicode/multibyte capable 'ord' function, so...



<?php

function uniord($u) {

    $k = mb_convert_encoding($u, 'UCS-2LE', 'UTF-8');

    $k1 = ord(substr($k, 0, 1));

    $k2 = ord(substr($k, 1, 1));

    return $k2 * 256 + $k1;

}

?>

For anyone who's looking to convert full strings to map and back it's pretty simple but takes some getting used to...the code below saves an hour of scrounging codes for beginners like myself.

function var2map($a) {
    $b='';
    $c=strlen($a);
    for($i=0; $i<$c; ++$i) {
        $d=ord(substr($a,$i,1));
        if($d<10) {
            $e='00'.$d;
        } else {
            if($d<100) {
                $e='0'.$d;
            } else {
                $e=$d;
            }
        }
        if($b=='') {
            $b=$e;
        } else {
            $b=$b.$e;
        }
    }
    return $b;
}

function map2var($a) {
    $b='';
    $c=strlen($a) / 3;
    for($i=0; $i<$c; ++$i) {
        $d=chr(substr($a,$i*3,3));
        if($b=='') {
            $b=$d;
        } else {
            $b=$b.$d;
        }
    }
    return $b;
}
