Re: bit wise math? Is there a function to easily return the bits?

<pre><?php $n = 7;

                    for ($i = 1; $i< $n;$i <<=1) if ($i & $n) $a[] = $i; // put it in an array or do whatever, $i contains the parts.

} (I wanted to see if I could write it in few LOC.) I wonder if there's a faster way...

//these might be marginally faster... function bits($num){ $bits = array(); $bin = decbin(intval($num)); $v = 1; for ($b = strlen($bin) - 1; $b >= 0; $b--){ if ($bin[$b] === '1') $bits[] = $v; $v = $v * 2; } return $bits; } function bits($num){ $num = (int) $num; $v = 1; $bits = array(); while ($v <= $num){ if ($v & $num) $bits[] = $v; $v = $v * 2; } return $bits; } I suspect there is a much faster way, somewhere, somehow...

Is there a php function I can call to pass in a number and get the values returned? For example, pass in 7 and get 1,2,4 ? Thanks!
