bindec

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

bindecBinary to decimal

Description

bindec(string $binary_string): int|float

Returns the decimal equivalent of the binary number represented by the binary_string argument.

bindec() converts a binary number to an int or, if needed for size reasons, float.

bindec() interprets all binary_string values as unsigned integers. This is because bindec() sees the most significant bit as another order of magnitude rather than as the sign bit.

Parameters

binary_string

The binary string to convert. Any invalid characters in binary_string are silently ignored. As of PHP 7.4.0 supplying any invalid characters is deprecated.

Warning

The parameter must be a string. Using other data types will produce unexpected results.

Return Values

The decimal value of binary_string

Changelog

Version Description
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.

Examples

Example #1 bindec() example

<?php
echo bindec('110011') . "\n";
echo 
bindec('000110011') . "\n";

echo 
bindec('111');
?>

The above example will output:

51
51
7

Example #2 bindec() interprets input as unsigned integers

Notes

Note:

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.
