Never heard of a BigEndian number beofre, but this should do it... function BigEndiantoInt($bigendian){ $bits = split(" ",$bigendian); $bits = array_reverse($bits); $value = 0; $columnvalue = 1; foreach($bits as $thisbit){ $value = $value + ($columnvalue * $thisbit); $columnvalue = $columnvalue * 2; } return $value; } HTH David -- phpmachine :: The quick and easy to use service providing you with professionally developed PHP scripts :: http://www.phpmachine.com/ Professional Web Development by David Nicholson http://www.djnicholson.com/ QuizSender.com - How well do your friends actually know you? http://www.quizsender.com/ (developed entirely in PHP)
