To add leading zeros I prefer the following:
<?php
// Add leading zeros
$bin = sprintf( "%08d", decbin( 26 )); // "00011010"
?>

Print as binary format with leading zeros into a variable in one simple statement.

<?php
$binary
= sprintf('%08b', $decimal); // $decimal = 5;
echo $binary; // $binary = "00000101";
?>

Regarding trailing zeros, after test all the option mention here by others, i have performed my own tests regarding efficiency, here are the results:

<?php

$decimal
= 9;

$time_start = microtime(true);
for (
$i=0;$i<1000;$i++){
$bin = printf('%08b', $decimal);
}
$time_end = microtime(true);
$time = $time_end - $time_start;
echo
"<hr>Duracion $time segundos<br>\n";
echo
$bin . '<br>';

$time_start = microtime(true);
for (
$i=0;$i<1000;$i++){
$bin = sprintf( "%08d", decbin( $decimal ));
}
$time_end = microtime(true);
$time = $time_end - $time_start;
echo
"<hr>Duracion $time segundos<br>\n";
echo
$bin . '<br>';

$time_start = microtime(true);
for (
$i=0;$i<1000;$i++){
$bin = decbin($decimal);
$bin = substr("00000000",0,8 - strlen($bin)) . $bin;
}
$time_end = microtime(true);
$time = $time_end - $time_start;
echo
"<hr>Duracion $time segundos<br>\n";
echo
$bin . '<br>';

?>

results

0000100100001001000010010000100.... (output is echoed 1000 times)
Duracion 0.0134768486023 segundos
8
Duracion 0.00054407119751 segundos
00001001
Duracion 0.000833988189697 segundos
00001001

Thus the winner is
<?php
$bin
= sprintf( "%08d", decbin( $decimal ));
?>

A fast function to convert a binary string to a bit sequence

<?php

function BinString2BitSequence($mystring) {
$mybitseq = "";
$end = strlen($mystring);
for(
$i = 0 ; $i < $end; $i++){
$mybyte = decbin(ord($mystring[$i])); // convert char to bit string
$mybitseq .= substr("00000000",0,8 - strlen($mybyte)) . $mybyte; // 8 bit packed
}
return
$mybitseq;
}

echo
BinString2BitSequence("ABCDEF"); // OUTPUT=010000010100001001000011010001000100010101000110

Just an example:
If you convert 26 to bin you'll get 11010, which is 5 chars long. If you need the full 8-bit value use this:

$bin = decbin(26);
$bin = substr("00000000",0,8 - strlen($bin)) . $bin;

This will convert 11010 to 00011010.

If you want leading zeros use php built-in features instead of custom functions

<?php
printf
('%08b', $decimal);
?>

>> printf('%08b', E_NOTICE)
>> 00001000

hi folks, i struggled for a day to get a big decimal number converted into binary, on the windows platform.
finally with bcmath functions this is what worked for me.

function bc_convert2bin($string) {

//got it to work with bcmath functions, works for 64 bit on 32 bit windows machine
$finished=0;
$base=2;
$bin_nr='';

if(preg_match("/[^0-9]/", $string)) {
for($i=0; $string!=chr($i); $i++) {
$dec_nr=$i;
}
} else {
$dec_nr=$string;
}
//while( $dec_nr>$base ) {
while( bccomp($dec_nr,$base) == 1 ) {

//$base=$base*2;
$base=bcmul($base,'2');
//if($base>$dec_nr) {
if( bccomp($base,$dec_nr) == 1 ) {
//$base=$base/2;
$base=bcdiv($base,'2');
break;
}
}

while(!$finished) {

//if(($dec_nr-$base)>0) {
if( bccomp( bcsub($dec_nr,$base) , 0) == 1 ) {

//$dec_nr=$dec_nr-$base;
$dec_nr=bcsub($dec_nr,$base);
$bin_nr.=1;
//$base=$base/2;
$base=bcdiv($base,'2');

//} elseif(($dec_nr-$base)<0) {
} elseif( bccomp( bcsub($dec_nr,$base) , 0) == -1 ) {

$bin_nr.=0;
//$base=$base/2;
$base=bcdiv($base,'2');

//} elseif(($dec_nr-$base)==0) {
} elseif( bccomp( bcsub($dec_nr,$base) , 0) == 0 ) {

$bin_nr.=1;
$finished=1;
//while($base>1) {
while( bccomp($base,1) == 1 ) {

$bin_nr.=0;
//$base=$base/2;
$base=bcdiv($base,'2');

}
}
}
return $bin_nr;
}

The GNU MP library (http://php.net/manual/en/book.gmp.php) provides methods to efficiently convert binary strings of any length to their binary representation (i.e., a `decbin` equivalent for strings).

<?php

$str
= random_bytes(1024); // binary string example

$result = gmp_strval(gmp_import($str), 2); // see manual for options such as endianness

$zeroPadded = sprintf('%0' . (strlen($str) * 8) . 's', $result); // zero-pad if needed, e.g. with str_pad, or sprintf as shown here

$strAgain = gmp_export(gmp_init($result, 2)); // reverse operation similar to bindec

?>

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;
}

Decimal to Binary conversion using the BCMath extension.

<?php

function BCDec2Bin($Input='') {
$Output='';
if(
preg_match("/^\d+$/",$Input)) {
while(
$Input!='0') {
$Output.=chr(48+($Input{strlen($Input)-1}%2));
$Input=BCDiv($Input,'2');
}
$Output=strrev($Output);
}
return((
$Output!='')?$Output:'0');
}

?>

This will simply convert from Base-10 to Base-2 using BCMath (arbitrary precision calculation).

See also: my 'BCBin2Dec' function on the 'bindec' document.
Enjoy,
Nitrogen.

A little useful little function that returns a binary string with leading 0s:

function d2b($n) {
return str_pad(decbin($n), 16, "0", STR_PAD_LEFT);
}

// example:
echo d2b(E_ALL);
echo d2b(E_ALL | E_STRICT);
echo d2b(0xAA55);
echo d2b(5);

Output:
0111011111111111
0111111111111111
1010101001010101
0000000000000101

HERE you can convert 64bit instead of 32bit with the standard decbin
<?
function bigdecbin($dec,$doublewords=1) {
$erg = "";
do {
$rest = $dec%2147483648;
if ($rest<0) $rest+=2147483648;
$erg = str_pad(decbin($rest),31,"0",STR_PAD_LEFT).$erg;
$dec = ($dec-$rest)/2147483648;
} while (($dec>0)&&(!($dec<1)));

return str_pad($erg,$doublewords*31,"0",STR_PAD_LEFT);
}

echo "<pre>";
for ($i=1.5*2147483647.0-10;$i<1.5*2147483647.0+10;$i++) {
echo "DEC:".$i." BIN:".bigdecbin($i,2)."<br>";
}
echo "</pre>";
?>

<?php

/*
1. This function takes a decimal, converts it to binary and returns the
decimal values of each individual binary value (a 1) in the binary string.
You can use larger decimal values if you pass them to the function as a string!
2. The second optional parameter reverses the output.
3. The third optional parameter inverses the binary string, eg 101 becomes 010.
