base_convert — 在任意进制之间转换数字
$number
, int $frombase
, int $tobase
) : string
返回一字符串，包含 number
以 tobase 进制的表示。number
本身的进制由
frombase 指定。frombase
和 tobase 都只能在
2 和 36 之间（包括 2 和 36）。高于十进制的数字用字母 a-z 表示，例如
a 表示 10，b 表示 11 以及 z 表示 35。
由于使用内部的 "double" 或 "float" 类型，base_convert() 的操作可能会导致大数值中的精度丢失。请参见本手册的 浮点数 章节以便获得更多详细信息。
number要转换的数字
frombase
The base number is in
tobase
The base to convert number to
number converted to base tobase
Example #1 base_convert() 例子
<?php
$hexadecimal = 'A37334';
echo base_convert($hexadecimal, 16, 2);
?>
以上例程会输出：
101000110111001100110100
While not immediately clear from the description above, a negative sign is also "silently ignored".

some other mini implementation of base32 without error catching. just bring things from 5 to 8 and 8 to 5 bit. greetings. mho
<?
function base32_decode($d)

Base62x gives an alternative way for traditional Base62 and/or Base64.
base62x_encode / base62x_decode would be merged into PHP as an extra module in the future.
Prior to that, users can download the PHP extra module via: https://github.com/wadelau/Base62x
<?php
$v = base_convert(3.14, 10, 10);
var_dump($v);
?>
output: string(3) "314"
Note that the method can only convert max 1024 long numbers. Most people don't nee that but once I ran into an issue where binary string was converted into alphanumeric. In such case, you need to split them, convert them and join.
I wrote this as part of a college assignment to shorten urls. It works for any base and with any range of characters, eg. A-Za-z0-9 etc. Hope it helps someone.
<?php
$base = range(0, 1);
$number = 255;
function translate($base, $number){
$array = array();
$n = count($base);
$i = $number;
while(true){
/* by dividing $i % $n we can get the remainder after the number has
* been divided by the base. Subtracting the result from $i (number), and dividing
* by $n (base) we reassign the result to $i, thus moving on to the next smallest
* exponent, and around for another go of the loop. It continues doing this, churning
* out the remainders until $i <= 0 at which point it breaks.
*/
if($i <= 0){
break;
}else{
$r = ($i % $n);
//reassign the value of $i
$i = ($i - $r) / $n;
$array[] = $base[$r];
}
}
$string = implode("", $array);
return $string;
}
$string = translate($base, $number);
echo $string;
// prints 11111111

In order to convert base 26 (hexavigesimal) of just alphanumeric characters (A-Z), wthout integers, (as descibed at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexavigesimal), I found this to be useful:
function base_convert_alpha( $str, $from, $to )
{
$r = range( 'A', 'Z' );
$clean = str_replace( $r, array_keys($r), $str );
return base_convert( $clean, $from, $to );
}
echo base_convert_alpha( "BAC", 26, 10 );
//$clean = 102 which then returns 678
Example of using base_convert to generate random passwords
function random_password()
{
$rvalue1 = mt_rand(100,999);
$rvalue2 = time();
$rvalue3 = mt_rand(1000,9999);
$rvalue4 = mt_rand(1,9);
$rvalue5 = mt_rand(101,109);
//combine values
$rvalues = intval(((($rvalue2.$rvalue3) + $rvalue1)*$rvalue4) / $rvalue5);
//return value in base-35 (will contain chars from '0' to 'z')
return base_convert($rvalues,10,35);
}
Change the range of rvalue5 to get more or less characters. This setting
will return 8 chars.
Convert any length bits to HEX:
function bits2hex($bin)
{
$out = "";
for($i=0;$i<strlen($bin);$i+=8)
{
$byte = substr($bin,$i,8); if( strlen($byte)<8 ) $byte .= str_repeat('0',8-strlen($byte));
$out .= base_convert($byte,2,16);
}
return $out;
}
VARNING! If the last byte is incomplete, it is supplemented with zeros as string!
If you use base_convert to convert a large (eg. 80-bit) hexadecimal to base-36, you might observe:
ABCDEF00001234567890 (hexadecimal) => 3O47RE02JZSW0KS8 (base-36) => ABCDEF00001240000000 (hexadecimal)
This is normal and is due to the loss of precision on large numbers.
I have written a string-based function using the built-in BC Math Extension which will overcome this and similar problems.
<?php
function str_baseconvert($str, $frombase=10, $tobase=36) {
$str = trim($str);
if (intval($frombase) != 10) {
$len = strlen($str);
$q = 0;
for ($i=0; $i<$len; $i++) {
$r = base_convert($str[$i], $frombase, 10);
$q = bcadd(bcmul($q, $frombase), $r);
}
}
else $q = $str;
if (intval($tobase) != 10) {
$s = '';
while (bccomp($q, '0', 0) > 0) {
$r = intval(bcmod($q, $tobase));
$s = base_convert($r, 10, $tobase) . $s;
$q = bcdiv($q, $tobase, 0);
}
}
else $s = $q;
return $s;
}
?>
Typical use-cases:
1. Convert a large arbitrary precision number to base-36.
2. Convert a 32-char hexadecimal UUID (128-bit) to a 25-char base-36 unique key, and vice versa.
Examples:
<?php
$b16 = 'ABCDEF00001234567890';
$b36 = str_baseconvert($b16, 16, 36);
echo ("$b16 (hexadecimal) = $b36 (base-36) \\n");
$uuid = 'ABCDEF01234567890123456789ABCDEF';
$ukey = str_baseconvert($uuid, 16, 36);
echo ("$uuid (hexadecimal) = $ukey (base-36) \\n");
?>
ABCDEF00001234567890 (hexadecimal) = 3o47re02jzqisvio (base-36)
ABCDEF01234567890123456789ABCDEF (hexadecimal) = a65xa07491kf5zyfpvbo76g33 (base-36)

Microsoft Windows Excel stops at IV (255), but this function can handle much larger. However, English words will start to form after a while and some may be offensive, so be careful.

[EDIT BY danbrown AT php DOT net: This function provides conversion of Arabic numerals (those used by most of the world, the standard 1,2,3,4,...) into Roman numerals (I,II,III,IV,...).

Really huge numbers might be truncated at both ends.
eg:
<?php
$binary="11010101001111010001110101000100011110010110110".
"001111000010001010001111001100011010110110010010011010".
"001011010000001001011111110001010101101101011010101010".
"000100011101110010110010100111110001010010111010110011".
"001111111100011001011011001110001111110000101011010010";
print(strtoupper(base_convert($binary, 2, 16)));
?>
will output:
9E8EA23CB63C0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 (64 hex digits)
when the correct result would be:
6A9E8EA23CB63C228F31AD9268B4097F156D6AA11DCB29F14BACCFF196CE3F0AD2 (66 hex digits)
Notice that as well as the result showing '0's after B63C which you would expect it is also missing the first 6A before 9E.
If you need to use base_convert with numbers larger then 32 bit, the following gmp implementation of base_convert should work.
<?php
/*use gmp library to convert base. gmp will convert numbers > 32bit*/
function gmp_convert($num, $base_a, $base_b)
{
return gmp_strval ( gmp_init($num, $base_a), $base_b );
}
?>
Here are some functions for converting integers to and from base 256. Converting to base 64 is simple given these.
<?php
function to_base256($number, $from_base = 10) {
$binary_number = base_convert($number, $from_base, 2);
$final_string = "";
$new_length = (ceil(strlen($binary_number)/8)*8);
$binary_number = str_pad($binary_number, $new_length, "0", STR_PAD_LEFT);
for($i=($new_length-8); $i>=0; $i-=8) {
$final_string = chr(base_convert(substr($binary_number, $i, 8), 2, 10)).$final_string;
}
return $final_string;
}
function from_base256($string, $to_base = 10) {
$number = "";
for($i=0; $i<strlen($string); $i++) {
$number .= str_pad(base_convert(ord($string{$i}), 10, 2), 8, "0", STR_PAD_LEFT);
}
return base_convert($number, 2, $to_base);
}
?>
Yes, I know that this would be more efficient if it used mod instead of base_convert, but it needs to work with integers > 32 bits.
<?php
function binarycodedstring2dec($binary) {
$len=strlen($binary);
$rows=($len/4)-1;
if (($len%4)>0) {
$pad=$len+(4-($len%4));
$binary=str_pad($binary,$pad,"0",STR_PAD_LEFT);
$len=strlen($binary);
$rows=($len/4)-1;
}
$x=0;
for ($x=0;$x<=$rows;$x++) {
$s=($x*4);
$bins=$binary[$s].$binary[$s+1].$binary[$s+2].$binary[$s+3];
$num=base_convert($bins,2,10);
if ($num>9) {
die("the string is not a proper binary coded decimal\n");
} else {
$res.=$num;
}
}
return $res;
}
?>
a binary coded decimal is converted by taking groups of four from a decimal string,
for example the binary coded decimal string
1000 = 8
10001000 does not = 136 but 88
so
binarycodedstring2dec(1000) = 8
binarycodedstring2dec(11100000111001)=3839
binarycodedstring2dec(100000111001)=839
i truly have no idea if this function will be useful to anyone, i simply failed a physics midterm because i didn't know this so i wrote this function to make sure i would never forget how to convert binary coded decimals
I needed a function to invert a hex value, which i used for setting font colors when they were on a colored background, that way i will get a contrasting color.
Im sure there are other reasons to use this, you decide!!
<?php
function InvertColor($hex) {
return sprintf("%06s",base_convert(($hex ^ 0xFFFFFF),10,16));
};
print '<td bgcolor="BB2222"><font color="'.InvertColor(0xBB2222).'">Blah</font></td>';
// Prints 44dddd as the font color, which is it's opposite on the color wheel
?>
