Re: Hex2Bin??

Computing-intensive, time-consuming and whatever else expensive functions do ;-) Bogdan Joshua E Minnie wrote:

I'd recommend writing a wrapper around base_convert, naming it hex2bin and using that instead. base_convert() is way too expensive for this purpose (you know that any hex figure is translated to exactly four bits, so you don't need any actual conversion - just replacement). This is why I suggested the wrapper - you can change the code at any time if you see it's too time-consuming...
