note 81793 added to function.bindec

A binary to decimal conversion function that takes advantage of the BC library functions to return decimal values of arbitrary length. Input type must be a string in order to work properly. <?php function binary_to_decimal($a) { $bin_array = str_split($a); $y=sizeof($bin_array)-1; for ($x=0; $x<sizeof($bin_array)-1; $x++) { if ($bin_array[$x] == 1) { $bin_array[$x] = bcpow(2, $y); } $y--; } for ($z=0; $z<sizeof($bin_array); $z++) { $result = bcadd($result, $bin_array[$z]); } echo $result; } binary_to_decimal('11111'); ?> ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 63.125.147.253 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.bindec.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/81793 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81793/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81793/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81793/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81793/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81793/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81793/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81793 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/81793 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
