dechex

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

dechex — Переводит число из десятичной системы счисления в шестнадцатеричную

Описание

dechex(int $num): string

Возвращает строку, содержащую шестнадцатеричное представление заданного беззнакового аргумента num.

Наибольшее число, которое функция преобразует, — PHP_INT_MAX * 2 + 1 (или -1): на 32-битных платформах это число 4 294 967 295 в десятеричной системе, для которого функция dechex() вернёт значение ffffffff.

Список параметров

num

Десятичное значение для преобразования.

Поскольку в PHP значения целочисленного типа (int) знаковые, а функция dechex() работает с беззнаковыми целыми числами, то отрицательные целые числа будут обрабатываться как беззнаковые.

Возвращаемые значения

Возвращает шестнадцатеричное строковое представление числа num.

Примеры

Пример #1 Пример использования функции dechex()

<?php

echo dechex(10) . "\n";
echo dechex(47);

?>

Результат выполнения приведённого примера:

a

Пример #2 Пример использования функции dechex() с большими целыми числами

<?php
// Вывод подразумевает 32-битную платформу.
// Обратите внимание, что вывод одинаков для всех значений.
echo dechex(-1)."\n";
echo dechex(PHP_INT_MAX * 2 + 1)."\n";
echo dechex(pow(2, 32) - 1)."\n";

?>

Be very careful calling dechex on a number if it's stored in a string.

For instance:

The max number it can handle is 4294967295 which in hex is FFFFFFFF, as it says in the documentation.

dechex(4294967295) => FFFFFFFF //CORRECT

BUT, if you call it on a string of a number, it casts to int, and automatically gives you the largest int it can handle.

dechex('4294967295') => 7FFFFFFF //WRONG!

so you'll need to cast to a float:

dechex((float) '4294967295') => FFFFFFFF //CORRECT

This took me FOREVER to figure out, so hopefully I just saved someone some time.

Here are two functions that will convert large dec numbers to hex and vice versa. And I really mean LARGE, much larger than any function posted earlier.

<pre>
// Input: A decimal number as a String.
// Output: The equivalent hexadecimal number as a String.
function dec2hex($number)
{
    $hexvalues = array('0','1','2','3','4','5','6','7',
               '8','9','A','B','C','D','E','F');
    $hexval = '';
     while($number != '0')
     {
        $hexval = $hexvalues[bcmod($number,'16')].$hexval;
        $number = bcdiv($number,'16',0);
    }
    return $hexval;
}

// Input: A hexadecimal number as a String.
// Output: The equivalent decimal number as a String.
function hex2dec($number)
{
    $decvalues = array('0' => '0', '1' => '1', '2' => '2',
               '3' => '3', '4' => '4', '5' => '5',
               '6' => '6', '7' => '7', '8' => '8',
               '9' => '9', 'A' => '10', 'B' => '11',
               'C' => '12', 'D' => '13', 'E' => '14',
               'F' => '15');
    $decval = '0';
    $number = strrev($number);
    for($i = 0; $i < strlen($number); $i++)
    {
        $decval = bcadd(bcmul(bcpow('16',$i,0),$decvalues[$number{$i}]), $decval);
    }
    return $decval;
}

A less elegant but (perhaps) faster way to pad is with substr with a negative length argument. I use it in this tiny function which formats computed rgb color codes for style sheets:
<?
function toColor($n)
{
return("#".substr("000000".dechex($n),-6));
}
?>

If you need to generate random HEX-color, use this:
<?php
function random_hex_color(){
    return sprintf("%02X%02X%02X", mt_rand(0, 255), mt_rand(0, 255), mt_rand(0, 255));
}
$hex = random_hex_color(); // 09B826
?>

Enjoy.

If you want to create or parse signed Hex values:

<?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

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

Also note that ('0x' . $str + 0) is faster than hexdec()

I was challenged by a problem with large number calculations and conversion to hex within php. The calculation exceeded unsigned integer and even float range. You can easily change it for your needs but it is, thanks to bcmath, capable of handling big numbers via string. This function will convert them to hex.



In this specific example though, since I use it for game internals that can only handle 32 bit numbers, it will truncate calculations at 8 digits. If the input is 1 for example it will be filled up with zeros. Output 00000001h.



Of course I don't claim it to be a good one, but it works for me and my purpose. Suggestions on faster code welcome!



<?php

// Turns numbers into 32-bit hex string; Fills up zeros

function lrgDec2Hex($number)

{

    $i = 0;

    $hex = array();



    while($i < 8) {

        if($number == 0) {

            array_push($hex, '0');

        }

        else {

            array_push($hex, strtoupper(dechex(bcmod($number, '16'))));

            $number = bcdiv($number, '16', 0);

        }

        $i++;

    }

    krsort($hex);

    return implode($hex);

}

?>

These are functions to convert roman numbers (e.g. MXC) into dec and vice versa.
Note: romdec() does not check whether a string is really roman or not. To force a user-input into a real roman number use decrom(romdec($input)). This will turn XXXX into XL for example.

<?php
    function decrom($dec){
        $digits=array(
            1 => "I",
            4 => "IV",
            5 => "V",
            9 => "IX",
            10 => "X",
            40 => "XL",
            50 => "L",
            90 => "XC",
            100 => "C",
            400 => "CD",
            500 => "D",
            900 => "CM",
            1000 => "M"
        );
        krsort($digits);
        $retval="";
        foreach($digits as $key => $value){
            while($dec>=$key){
                $dec-=$key;
                $retval.=$value;
            }
        }
        return $retval;
    }

    function romdec($rom){
        $digits=array(
            "I" => 1,
            "V" => 5,
            "X" => 10,
            "L" => 50,
            "C" => 100,
            "D" => 500,
            "M" => 1000
        );
        $retval="";
        $chars=array();
        for($i=1;$i<=strlen($rom);$i++){
            $chars[]=substr($rom,$i-1,1);
        }
        $step=1;
        for($i=count($chars)-1;$i>=0;$i--){

                $retval+=$digits[$chars[$i]];
            }
            else{
                $retval-=$digits[$chars[$i]];
            }
        }
        return $retval;
    }

Here is a very small zeropadding that you can use for numbers:

function zeropad($num, $lim)
{
   return (strlen($num) >= $lim) ? $num : zeropad("0" . $num);
}

zeropad("234",6);

will produce:
000234

zeropad("234",1);

will produce:
234

Here's how to use bitwise operations for RGB2hex conversion. This function returns hexadesimal rgb value just like one submitted by gurke@bigfoot.com above.

function hexColor($color) {
  return dechex(($color[0]<<16)|($color[1]<<8)|$color[2]);
}

example:

$col[0] = 25;
$col[1] = 255;
$col[2] = 55;

print hexColor($col);

I was confused by dechex's size limitation. Here is my solution to the problem. It supports much bigger values, as well as signs.



<?php

function dec_to_hex($dec)

{

    $sign = ""; // suppress errors

    if( $dec < 0){ $sign = "-"; $dec = abs($dec); }



    $hex = Array( 0 => 0, 1 => 1, 2 => 2, 3 => 3, 4 => 4, 5 => 5,

                  6 => 6, 7 => 7, 8 => 8, 9 => 9, 10 => 'a',

                  11 => 'b', 12 => 'c', 13 => 'd', 14 => 'e',    

                  15 => 'f' );

        

    do

    {

        $h = $hex[($dec%16)] . $h;

        $dec /= 16;

    }

    while( $dec >= 1 );

    

    return $sign . $h;

}

?>

I like the example with the bitwise operations but if the value of color[0] is less than 16 it's not accurate:
example:
color[0]: 0;
color[1]: 0;
color[2]: 255;
 function hexColor($color) {
  return dechex(($color[0]<<16)|($color[1]<<8)|$color[2]);
}
It returns "ff", which is not legit RGB color...
so my solution is to combine the function above with: 
function toColor($n)
{
return("#".substr("000000".dechex($n),-6));
}

If you gotta deal with array of rgb values this is my solution:
------------------------------------------------------
function hexColor($color) {
    $rgb = dechex(($color[0]<<16)|($color[1]<<8)|$color[2]);
    return("#".substr("000000".$rgb, -6));
}

   return (float) $sec + ((double) $usec * 100000); 
} 

function rand_hex() {
   mt_srand(make_seed()); 
   $randval = mt_rand(0,255);
   //convert to hex
   return sprintf("%02X",$randval);

If you need to convert a large number (> PHP_MAX_INT) to a hex value, simply use base_convert. For example:

base_convert('2190964402', 10, 16); // 829776b2

    // since one hex is 4bits, the value 8 and up contain msb of 1, hence negative number    

    if ($hex[0] >= '8'){    // Note: if you use the digit 8 it is not the same as '8'

        $dec -= 1;

To force the correct usage of 32-bit unsigned integer in some functions, just add '+0'  just before processing them.



for example 

<?php echo(dechex("2724838310")); ?>

will print '7FFFFFFF'

but it should print 'A269BBA6'



When adding '+0' php will handle the 32bit unsigned integer

correctly

<?php echo(dechex("2724838310"+0)); ?>

will print 'A269BBA6'

now, here is a nice and small function to convert integers to hex strings and it avoids use of the DECHEX funtion because that function changed it's behavior too often in the past (now, in PHP version 4.3.2 it works with numbers bigger than 0x7FFFFFFF correctly, but i need to be backward compatible).

function &formatIntegerForOutput($value) {
    $text = "00000000";
    $transString = "0123456789ABCDEF";
    // handle highest nibble (nibble 7):
        $nibble = $value & 0x70000000;
        $nibble >>= 28;
        if ($value < 0) {
            $nibble = $nibble | 0x00000008;
        }
        $text[0] = $transString[$nibble];
        $value &= 0x0FFFFFFF;
    // nibbles 0 to 6:
        for ($a = 7; $a > 0; $a --) {
            $nibble = $value & 0x0000000F;
            $text[$a] = $transString[$nibble];
            $value >>= 4;
        }
    return $text
}

this function should be not too slow and is really simple.
I don't know, if the DECHEX function in the future will pad it's output to ever be 8 characters in length - so for backward compatibility reasons even in future PHP versions i avoided to use it.

I figured out another way to do this:
if you have a very long decimal number in gmp format (you can always create a gmp number with gmp_init($numberstring), you can simply do gmp_strval($gmpnumber, 16), where $gmpnumber is your gmp number, and the 16 is the base you want to transform it to. Worked for me like a charm, also works for other bases.

Warning for use on 64 bit machines! The Extra length matters!

32bit machine:
php -r 'echo dechex(4294967295);'
output: ffffffff

64bit machine:
php -r 'echo dechex(4294967295);'
output: ffffffff

so far it is ok. But for slightly bigger numbers:

32bit machine:
php -r 'echo dechex(4294967296);'
output: 0

64bit machine:
php -r 'echo dechex(4294967296);'
output: 100000000

note the difference!

This is particularly important when converting negative numbers:

64bit machine:
php -r 'echo dechex(-1);'
output: ffffffffffffffff

32bit machine:
php -r 'echo dechex(-1);'
output: ffffffff

If you want your code to be portable to amd64 or xeons (which are now quite popular with hosting companies) then you must ensure that your code copes with the different length of the result for negative numbers (and the max value, although that is probably less critical).

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. :-)

Here's a function which works for decimal values up to 9007199254740992 (hex 20000000000000).

function dec2hex($dec)
{
  $hex = ($dec == 0 ? '0' : '');

  while ($dec > 0)
  {
    $hex = dechex($dec - floor($dec / 16) * 16) . $hex;
    $dec = floor($dec / 16);
  }

  return $hex;
}

Heres a example of dec to html hex gradient. Have fun :)

//Amount of gradients
$l = 20;

//Start color
$start[0] = "255";     //red
$start[1] = "0";     //green
$start[2] = "255";     //blue

//End color
$end[0] = "255";     //red
$end[1] = "255";    //green
$end[2] = "255";    //blue

for ($t = 1; $t < $l;) {

    $x = $x * $t;

    for ($i = 0; $i < 3;) {

        $buffer[$i] = $start[$i] - $end[$i];
        $buffer[$i] = floor($buffer[$i] / $l);
        $rgb[$i] = $start[$i] - ($buffer[$i] * $t);

        if ($rgb[$i] > 255) {

            $rgb[$i] = 255;

        }

        $rgb[$i] = dechex($rgb[$i]);
        $rgb[$i] = strtoupper($rgb[$i]);

        if (strlen($rgb[$i]) < 2) {

            $rgb[$i] = "0$rgb[$i]";

        }

        $i++;

    }

    $color = "$rgb[0]$rgb[1]$rgb[2]";
    echo "$color";
        $t++;

}

I see a lot of less-than-optimal functions posted on this page, so I feel I have to give some better examples... 
due to the sheer size of this collection, I have made it available on my server, rather than copy/paste it into these comments.

dechex replacement function from above source:
<?php
  define('BIT_BYTE', 8); // bits per byte
  define('HEX_BYTE', BIT_BYTE/4); // hex digits in a byte

  define('BIT_INT',  32); // sizeof(int)
  define('HEX_INT',  BIT_INT / (BIT_BYTE/HEX_BYTE)); // hex digits in an int

  function i2h($int, $group=HEX_BYTE, $size=HEX_INT, $sep=' ') {
    $ret = '';
    while($size--) {
      $n=($int>>($size*4)) & 0xf;
      $ret .= $n>9?chr(55 + $n):$n;
      if($size && $size%$group == 0) $ret .= $sep;
    }
    return $ret;
  }

Or you could use this for an RGBA color.
    function toAlphaColor($n,$a)
    {
        $rgb = substr("000000".dechex($n),-6);
        $alpha = substr("00".dechex($a),-2);
        return("#".$rgb.$alpha);
    }
