Another larger-than-31-bit function. Works for very large numbers, but at the expense of perfect bit-precision as the size increases (I noticed rounding errors past 16 or so decimal places) so use with caution, and only when decbin() won't cut it. function Dec2Bin($number) { while ($number >= 256) { $bytes[] = (($number / 256) - (floor($number / 256))) * 256; $number = floor($number / 256); } $bytes[] = $number; for ($i=0;$i<count($bytes);$i++) { $binstring = (($i == count($bytes) - 1) ? decbin($bytes[$i]) : str_pad(decbin($bytes[$i]), 8, "0", STR_PAD_LEFT)).$binstring; } return $binstring; } -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.decbin.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+19498 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+19498 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+19498
