chr — Bir sayıdan tek baytlık dizge üretir
sayı işaretsiz bir tamsayı olarak yorumlanarak
belirtilen tek baytlık karakteri döndürür.
Bu, ASCII, ISO-8859 veya Windows 1252 gibi tek baytlık bir kodlamada, kodlamanın eşleme tablosunda istenen bir karakterin konumunu ileterek tek karakterlik bir dize oluşturmak için kullanılabilir. Ancak, bu işlev herhangi bir karakter kodlamasının farkında değildir ve özellikle UTF-8 veya UTF-16 gibi çok baytlı bir kodlamada bir dize oluşturmak için bir Unicode karakteri kod değeri bu işleve aktarılmamalıdır.
ord() işlevinin zıddıdır.
sayı0 ile 255 arasında bir tamsayı.
Geçerli aralık (0..255) dışında kalan değerle 255 bitsel VElenir. Bu aşağıdaki algoritmaya eşdeğerdir:

$bytevalue += 256;
}
$bytevalue %= 256;Belirtilen bayta karşılık gelen karakter.

<?php

* @return char

?>I spent hours looking for a function which would take a numeric HTML entity value and output the appropriate UTF-8 bytes. I found this at another site and only had to modify it slightly; so I don't take credit for this.

%c is defined as: "Print the character belonging to the ascii code given"
chr() just gives a string, so you need to use %s, even if the string consists of only one character. This is consistent with other languages.

Learn from my mistake:
Do not expect this to work!
<?php
$c_question = chr(63);
$v_out = sprintf("<%cphp\n", $c_question);
//... more stuff being sprintf'd into v_out here ...
$v_out = sprintf("%s%c>\n", $v_out, $c_question);
$v_fp = fopen("foofile", "w");
if ($v_fp)
{
fwrite($v_fp, $v_out, strlen($v_out));
fclose($v_fp);
}
?>
When I did this, foofile contained <NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL>.
I spun my wheels quite awhile looking at fputs, fwrite to verify I was calling those functions correctly.
My mistake was using $c_question = chr(63) instead of
$c_question = 63 (correct). Then everything worked fine.Note that chr(10) is a 'line feed' and chr(13) is a 'carriage return' and they are not the same thing! I found this out while attempting to parse text from forms and text files for inclusion as HTML by replacing all the carriage returns with <BR>'s only to find after many head-scratchings that I should have been looking for line feeds. If anyone can shed some light on what the difference is, please do.
If you're planning on saving text from a form into a database for later display, you'll need to apply the following function so that it gets saved with the proper HTML tags.
<?php
$text = str_replace ( chr(10), "<BR>", $text );
?>
When you want to plug it back into that form for editing you need to convert it back.
<?php
$text = str_replace ( "<BR>", chr(10), $text)
?>
Hope this saves somebody some trouble. :)argument is automatically converted to integer, so chr('65') and chr(65) would both output the letter Astring mb_chr ( int $cp [, string $encoding ] )
Parameter List:
cp - character code (in decimal notation)
encoding - encoding (UTF-8, ASCII and so on)
We get the letter 'Ж' from the encoding UTF-8:
$sim = mb_chr(0x0416, 'UTF-8');
echo $sim; // Ж
Get the character '}' from the encoding ASCII:
$sim = mb_chr(125, 'ASCII');
echo $sim ; // }It seems that php uses the table from here: http://ascii-code.com/
(and not from here: http://www.asciitable.com/ as suggested in the documentation) for codes from 128 to 255.
