hexdec
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
hexdec — Hexadecimal to decimal
Описание
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.
Список параметров
- hex_string
-
The hexadecimal string to convert
Возвращаемые значения
The decimal representation of hex_string
Список изменений
| Версия | Описание |
|---|---|
| Since 4.1.0 | The function can now convert values that are to big for the platforms integer type, it will return the value as float instead in that case. |

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); }

Reply To Halit Yesil's script:
Great Function!! But, there's a problem with your script if the user passes something with three letters/numbers (eg/ #000). You need to use str_repeat to duplicate each character.
if($l == 3){
unset($out);
$out[0] = $out['r'] = $out['red'] = hexdec(str_repeat(substr($c, 0,1),2));
$out[1] = $out['g'] = $out['green'] = hexdec(str_repeat(substr($c, 1,1),2));
$out[2] = $out['b'] = $out['blue'] = hexdec(str_repeat(substr($c, 2,1),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. :-)

This function will take a hex $color, e.g. fa34bc and make it the shade you want, e.g. anywhere between 0 and 255. The smaller the number, the darker the output color. It keeps the color the same, only changing the shade.
function correctshade($color, $shade)
{
$r = hexdec(substr($color,0,2));
$g = hexdec(substr($color,2,2));
$b = hexdec(substr($color,4,2));
$sum = ($r + $g + $b);
$x = (($shade * 3) - $sum) / $sum;
if ($x >= 0) {
$x = $x + 1;
} else {
$x = 1 + $x;
}
$r = intval($x * $r);
$g = intval($x * $g);
$b = intval($x * $b);
$r = dechex($r);
$g = dechex($g);
$b = dechex($b);
return $r.$g.$b;

$g = dechex(255 - hexdec(substr($color,2,2)));
$g = (strlen($g) > 1) ? $g : '0'.$g;
$b = dechex(255 - hexdec(substr($color,4,2)));
$b = (strlen($b) > 1) ? $b : '0'.$b;

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];

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 found it helpful to have the inverse / reverse of this function laying around, since I wanted to insert some binary data into an xmlrpc call (it currently craps out when you do that), and I couldn't find one laying around, so here's a simple little function to do that:
function hex2bin($str) {
$build = '';
while(strlen($str) > 1) {
$build .= chr(hexdec(substr($str, 0, 2)));
$str = substr($str, 2, strlen($str)-2);
}

To convert a cellular ESN from hexadecimal to decimal, use the following code. The base conversion is different due to the fact that the first two characters of a hexadecimal value must be converted seperately from the remaining six characters.

This replaces my previous class.
I've added a few more input checks in the rgb2hex function.
Also it returned incorrect hex values for 1-digit values.
color::rgb2hex(array(0,0,0)) would output 000 not 00000.

if (strlen($hexVal) != 6) { return "ERR: Incorrect colorcode, expecting 6 chars (a-f, 0-9)"; }

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.

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) { $new_x = 0; }
else if ($new_x > 255) { $new_x = 255; };
$new_x = dechex($new_x);
$ret .= $new_x;
}
return $ret;
} else { return false; }
}

I wondered long time what is the best way to generate RGB-color from HEX-color, and just now i found the simpliest way!
<?php
$hex = "FF00FF";
$rgb = hexdec($hex); // 16711935
?>
I hope this will save your time! :)

Here is a function to brighten up any color:
function lighten_up($orig_color, $fraction_denom){
// return the color between the color and white
// based on the fraction denom that is passed
if(!isset($fraction_denom))
$fraction_denom = 2;
$highest_val = hexdec("FF");
$r = hexdec(substr($orig_color,0,2));
$r = ($highest_val-$r)/$fraction_denom + $r;
$g = hexdec(substr($orig_color,2,2));
$g = ($highest_val-$g)/$fraction_denom + $g;
$b = hexdec(substr($orig_color,4,2));
$b = ($highest_val-$b)/$fraction_denom + $b;
return dechex($r) . dechex($g) . dechex($b);
}

Damn, this took me some real long time! Maybe it's helpfull for those who even have no idea of color-Schemes like me ;)
If u want to generate PDF's for Print Offices u need to set all the colors in CMYK.
Here is a Function that will convert RGB to CMYK
<?
function hex2rgb($hex) {
$color = str_replace('#','',$hex);
$rgb = array('r' => hexdec(substr(
