### Description

octdec(string `$octal_string`): int|float

Returns the decimal equivalent of the octal number represented by the `octal_string` argument.

### Parameters

`octal_string`

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

### Return Values

The decimal representation of `octal_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 octdec() example

`<?php
echo octdec('77') . "\n";
echo octdec(decoct(45));
?>`

The above example will output:

    63
    45

### 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.
