hexdec

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

hexdec — Hexadecimal to decimal

Опис

hexdec(string $hex_string): int|float

Returns the decimal equivalent of the hexadecimal number represented by the hex_string argument. hexdec() converts a hexadecimal string to a decimal number.

hexdec() will ignore any non-hexadecimal characters it encounters. As of PHP 7.4.0 supplying any invalid characters is deprecated.

Значення, що повертаються

The decimal representation of hex_string

Журнал змін

Версія	Опис
7.4.0	Passing invalid characters will now generate a deprecation notice. The result will still be computed as if the invalid characters did not exist.

Зауваження:
The function can convert numbers that are too large to fit into the platforms int type, larger values are returned as float in that case.

Use this function to convert a hexa decimal color code to its RGB equivalent. Unlike many other functions provided here, it will work correctly with hex color short hand notation.

Also, if a proper hexa decimal color value is given (6 digits), it uses bit wise operations for faster results.

For eg: #FFF and #FFFFFF will produce the same result

<?php
/**
 * Convert a hexa decimal color code to its RGB equivalent
 *
 * @param string $hexStr (hexadecimal color value)
 * @param boolean $returnAsString (if set true, returns the value separated by the separator character. Otherwise returns associative array)
 * @param string $seperator (to separate RGB values. Applicable only if second parameter is true.)
 * @return array or string (depending on second parameter. Returns False if invalid hex color value)
 */                                                                                                 
function hex2RGB($hexStr, $returnAsString = false, $seperator = ',') {
    $hexStr = preg_replace("/[^0-9A-Fa-f]/", '', $hexStr); // Gets a proper hex string
    $rgbArray = array();
    if (strlen($hexStr) == 6) { //If a proper hex code, convert using bitwise operation. No overhead... faster
        $colorVal = hexdec($hexStr);
        $rgbArray['red'] = 0xFF & ($colorVal >> 0x10);
        $rgbArray['green'] = 0xFF & ($colorVal >> 0x8);
        $rgbArray['blue'] = 0xFF & $colorVal;
    } elseif (strlen($hexStr) == 3) { //if shorthand notation, need some string manipulations
        $rgbArray['red'] = hexdec(str_repeat(substr($hexStr, 0, 1), 2));
        $rgbArray['green'] = hexdec(str_repeat(substr($hexStr, 1, 1), 2));
        $rgbArray['blue'] = hexdec(str_repeat(substr($hexStr, 2, 1), 2));
    } else {
        return false; //Invalid hex color code
    }
    return $returnAsString ? implode($seperator, $rgbArray) : $rgbArray; // returns the rgb string or the associative array
} ?>

OUTPUT:

hex2RGB("#FF0") -> array( red =>255, green => 255, blue => 0)
hex2RGB("#FFFF00) -> Same as above
hex2RGB("#FF0", true) -> 255,255,0
hex2RGB("#FF0", true, ":") -> 255:255:0

hexdec doesn't accept numbers following the period.
What if you have a number like c20.db18?
<?php
function floatinghexdec($str)
{
    list($intgr,$hex)=explode('.',$str,2);
    $intgr=ereg_replace("[^A-Fa-f0-9]", "", $intgr);
    $hex=ereg_replace("[^A-Fa-f0-9]", "", $hex);
    $answer=0;
    for($i=0;$i < strlen($hex); $i++)
    {
        $digit=hexdec(substr($hex,$i,1))/16;   // .f is 15/16 because in decimal .9 is 9/10
        $answer += $digit/pow(16,$i);
    }
return hexdec($intgr)+$answer;
}

echo floatinghexdec("ff.ff");//255.99609375

After esnhexdec from "rledger at gmail dot com",  the esndechex:

<?php
    function esndechex($dec){
         $a = strtoupper(dechex(substr($dec, 1,  2)));

This tiny function will return foreground colors (either black or white) in contrast to the color you provide:

<?php

function getContrastColor($color)
{
    return (hexdec($color) > 0xffffff/2) ? '000000' : 'ffffff';
}

?>

This function will return the opposite (negative):

<?php

function negativeColor($color)
{
    //get red, green and blue
    $r = substr($color, 0, 2);
    $g = substr($color, 2, 2);
    $b = substr($color, 4, 2);
    
    //revert them, they are decimal now
    $r = 0xff-hexdec($r);
    $g = 0xff-hexdec($g);
    $b = 0xff-hexdec($b);
    
    //now convert them to hex and return.
    return dechex($r).dechex($g).dechex($b);
}

A handy little function to convert HEX colour codes to "web safe" colours...

<?php

function color_mkwebsafe ( $in )
{
   // put values into an easy-to-use array
   $vals['r'] = hexdec( substr($in, 0, 2) );
   $vals['g'] = hexdec( substr($in, 2, 2) );
   $vals['b'] = hexdec( substr($in, 4, 2) );

   // loop through
   foreach( $vals as $val )
   {
       // convert value
       $val = ( round($val/51) * 51 );
       // convert to HEX
       $out .= str_pad(dechex($val), 2, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT);
   }

   return $out;
}

?>

Example: color_mkwebsafe('0e5c94');
Produces: 006699

Hope this helps someone out... Happy coding. :-)

It's just a revision to marfastic's ligten_up script, it simply adds/subtracts mod_color to orig_color.
I use it often to adjust tonals rather than brightness only

<?
function mod_color($orig_color, $mod, $mod_color){
    /*
        $orig_color - original html color, hex
        $mod_color - modifying color, hex
        $mod - modifier '+' or '-'
        usage: mod_color('CCCCCC', '+', '000033')
    */
    // does quick validation
    preg_match("/([0-9]|[A-F]){6}/i",$orig_color,$orig_arr);
    preg_match("/([0-9]|[A-F]){6}/i",$mod_color,$mod_arr);
    if ($orig_arr[0] && $mod_arr[0]) {
        for ($i=0; $i<6; $i=$i+2) {
            $orig_x = substr($orig_arr[0],$i,2);
            $mod_x = substr($mod_arr[0],$i,2);
            if ($mod == '+') { $new_x = hexdec($orig_x) + hexdec($mod_x); }
            else { $new_x = hexdec($orig_x) - hexdec($mod_x); }
            if ($new_x < 0) { $new_x = 0; }

Here My version of converting a hex string to a signed decimal value:

<?php

function hexdecs($hex)
{
    // ignore non hex characters
    $hex = preg_replace('/[^0-9A-Fa-f]/', '', $hex);
    
    // converted decimal value:
    $dec = hexdec($hex);
    
    // maximum decimal value based on length of hex + 1:
    //   number of bits in hex number is 8 bits for each 2 hex -> max = 2^n
    //   use 'pow(2,n)' since '1 << n' is only for integers and therefore limited to integer size.
    $max = pow(2, 4 * (strlen($hex) + (strlen($hex) % 2)));
    
    // complement = maximum - converted hex:
    $_dec = $max - $dec;
    
    // if dec value is larger than its complement we have a negative value (first bit is set)
    return $dec > $_dec ? -$_dec : $dec;
}

The issue I've seen with the existing hex to dec conversion routines is the lack of error-trapping.  I stick to the theory that one should try to cover ALL the bases when writing a generalized routine such as this one.  I have a varied background that covers a wide variety of design/development languages, on the web as well as desktop apps.  As such I've seen multiple formats for writing hex colors.

For example, the color red COULD be written as follows:
#ff0000
&Hff0000
#ff
&Hff

Therefore I have written a function that is case-insensitive and takes into account the chance that different developers have a tendency to format hex colors in different ways.

<?php
  function convert_color($hex){
    $len = strlen($hex);
    $chars = array("#","&","H","h");
    $hex = strip_chars($hex, $chars);
    preg_match("/([0-9]|[A-F]|[a-f]){".$len."}/i",$hex,$arr);
    $hex = $arr[0];
    if ($hex) {
      switch($len) {
        case 2:
          $red = hexdec($hex);
          $green = 0;
          $blue = 0;
          break;
        case 4:
          $red = hexdec(substr($hex,0,2));
          $green=hexdec(substr($hex,2,2));
          $blue = 0;
          break;
        case 6:
          $red = hexdec(substr($hex,0,2));
          $green=hexdec(substr($hex,2,2));
          $blue = hexdec(substr($hex,4,2));
          break;       
      };
      $color[success] = true;
      $color[r] = $red;
      $color[g] = $green;
      $color[b] = $blue;
      return $color;
    } else {
      $color[success] = false;
      $color[error] = "unable to convert hex to dec";
    };
  }

  function strip_chars($string, $char){
    $len = strlen($string);
    $count = count($char);
    if ($count >= 2) {
      for ($i=0;$i<=$count;$i++) {
        if ($char[$i]) {
          $found = stristr($string,$char[$i]);
          if ($found) {
            $val = substr($string,$found+1,$len-1);
            $string = $val;
          };
        };
      };
    } else {
      $found = stristr($string,$char);
      if ($found) {
        $val = substr($string,$found+1,$len-1);
      };
    };
    echo $val;
    return $val;
  }

  /* 
    To use simply use the following function call:
      $color = convert_color("#FF");
      this will return the following assoc array if successful:
      *[success] = true
      *[r] = 255
      *[g] = 0
      *[b] = 0

      or copy and paste the following code:
      
      $hex = "FFFFFF"; // Color White
      $color = convert_color($hex);
      var_dump($color);
 */ 
?>

As you can see, the function "convert_color" accepts a hex # in most acceptable formats and returns an associative array.  [success] is set to TRUE if the function succeeds and FALSE if not.  The array members [r], [g] and [b] hold the red,green and blue values respectively.  If it fails, [error] holds a custom error message.

"strip_chars" is a support function written to remove the unwanted characters from the hex string, and sends the concatenated string back to the calling function.  It will accept either a single value or an array of values for the characters to remove.

If you want to create or parse signed Hex strings:

<?php
// $d should be an int
function sdechex($d) { return ($d<0) ? ('-' . dechex(-$d)) : dechex($d); }

// $h should be a string
function shexdec($h) { return ($h[0] === '-') ? -('0x' . substr($h,1) + 0) : ('0x' . $h + 0); }

// test
$h = sdechex(-123); // string(3) "-7b"
$d = shexdec($h);   // int(-123)
var_dump($h, $d);
?>

Also note that ('0x' . $hexstr + 0) is faster than hexdec()
(Tested on PHP v5.2.17)

One of my favourite, multi-purpose, bidirectional solution I wrote many years ago: 

function bgr2rgb($cr) {  // bidirectional
    return (($cr & 0x0000FF) << 16 | ($cr & 0x00FF00) | ($cr & 0xFF0000) >> 16);
}

Which you might want to use as :

function hex2cr($hex) {  // strips any leading characters, like #
    return bgr2rgb(hexdec($hex));
}

function cr2hex($cr) { // the usual HTML format, #rrggbb
    return '#'.str_pad(strtoupper(dechex(bgr2rgb($cr))), 6, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT);
}

And, if like me you tend to mistype function names, the synonym : 

function rgb2bgr($val) { return bgr2rgb($val); }

Here's a short example to convert strings between hex and chars:



<?php

print hextostr("616E647940686176656C616E642E636F6D")."\n";



print strtohex("Knowledge is power")."\n";



function hextostr($x) {

  $s='';

  foreach(explode("\n",trim(chunk_split($x,2))) as $h) $s.=chr(hexdec($h));

  return($s);

}



function strtohex($x) {

  $s='';

  foreach(str_split($x) as $c) $s.=sprintf("%02X",ord($c));

  return($s);

}

    static $hexdec = array(
        "0" => 0,
        "1" => 1,
        "2" => 2,

I made these functions to pack up to 64 ID's into a mysql unsigned bigint.



ID's cannot repeat, must be <= bit's limit and > 0.



The functions uses php 32 bit's int as unsigned because we don't actually read the number, just the bits. Then 0xFFFFFFFF display -1 but the bit's are there (tested with linux 2.6 i686 and x86_64)

This is an other way to make hex to bin conversions:



<?php

function hexbin($hex, $padding = false)

{

    // Validation

    $hex = preg_replace('/^(0x|X)?/i', '', $hex);

    $hex = preg_replace('/[[:blank:]]/', '', $hex);

    if(empty($hex))

    {

        $hex = '0';

    }

    if(!preg_match('/^[0-9A-F]*$/i', $hex))

    {

        trigger_error('Argument is not a hex', E_USER_WARNING);

        return false;

    }

    

    // Conversion

    $bin = '';

    $hex = array_reverse(str_split($hex));

    foreach($hex as $n)

    {

        $n = hexdec($n);

        for($i = 1; $i <= 8; $i <<= 1)

        {

            $bin .= ($i & $n)? '1' : '0';

        }

        if($padding)

        {

            $bin .= ' ';

        }

    }

    return ltrim(strrev($bin));

}



// Tests

echo "<b>Debug:</b> <pre>";



// Randomly choosed padded number

var_dump(hexbin('00FF FF8F 7F3F FF1F', true));

// string(79) "0000 0000 1111 1111 1111 1111 1000 1111 0111 1111 0011 1111 1111 1111 0001 1111"



// Yellow RGB

var_dump(hexbin('0xF8F800'));

// string(24) "111110001111100000000000"



// Green RGB (padded)

var_dump(hexbin('0x008800', true));

//string(29) "0000 0000 1000 1000 0000 0000"

Bullet-proof hex-to-rgb colour converter like brian at sagesport dot com wanted, just far fewer code lines. As a bonus, gives you the ability to return as string or array:

<?php
    function &hex2rgb($hex, $asString = true) 
    {
        // strip off any leading #
        if (0 === strpos($hex, '#')) { 
            $hex = substr($hex, 1);
        } else if (0 === strpos($hex, '&H')) {
            $hex = substr($hex, 2);
        }       

        // break into hex 3-tuple
        $cutpoint = ceil(strlen($hex) / 2)-1; 
        $rgb = explode(':', wordwrap($hex, $cutpoint, ':', $cutpoint), 3);

        // convert each tuple to decimal
        $rgb[0] = (isset($rgb[0]) ? hexdec($rgb[0]) : 0);
        $rgb[1] = (isset($rgb[1]) ? hexdec($rgb[1]) : 0);
        $rgb[2] = (isset($rgb[2]) ? hexdec($rgb[2]) : 0);

        return ($asString ? "{$rgb[0]} {$rgb[1]} {$rgb[2]}" : $rgb);
    }
?>

Handles 2, 3, and 6 character colour codes with leading # or &H.

I made this for a little phpbb mod.  It was used to take the hex value from the database and make a color 20 (in decimal) less, resulting a darker color.

EXAMPLE: #336699 to #1f5285

<?php

$row1 = "336699"; // color
$c = 20;          // difference value

$rgb = array(substr($row1,0,2), substr($row1,2,2), substr($row1,4,2));

for($i=0; $i < 3; $i++)
{
  if((hexdec($rgb[$i])-$c) >= 0)
  {
   $rgb[$i] = hexdec($rgb[$i])-$c;

   $rgb[$i] = dechex($rgb[$i]);
    if(hexdec($rgb[0]) <= 9)
     $rgb[$i] = "0".$rgb[$i];
  } else {
    $rgb[$i] = "00";
  }
}

$row2 = $rgb[0].$rgb[1].$rgb[2];

hexdec from 4.1.0 onwards does not show

the same size limitation and therefore

works differently with large numbers than previous php versions.



To obtain the same results, use:



(int) hexdec (...)
