Convert binary to hexadecimal using PHP

Question

How do I convert a binary number (i.e. 1111111) to hexadecimal (i.e. 7f) using PHP? I recognize I could do dechex(bindec(\'1111111\'));, h

Answer 1

dechex(bindec($binary));

It is the right way, you are putting extra ")"(Closing Parenthesis) in the end...

Answer 2

try this:

<?php
$binary = "11111001";
$hex = dechex(bindec($binary));
echo $hex;
?>

look at this link for more info http://php.net/manual/en/function.bin2hex.php

Answer 3

You can also try this function:

<?php

function hexentities($str) {
$return = '';
for($i = 0; $i < strlen($str); $i++) {
    $return .= '&#x'.bin2hex(substr($str, $i, 1)).';';
}
return $return;
 }

?>

Answer 4

Your solution is fine. You can also use base_convert.

$binary = '1111111';
echo base_convert($binary, 2, 16); // 7f

But keep in mind that php is not built for calculations. It is built for working with strings.
