PHP 8.4.0 RC2 available for testing

base_convert

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

base_convertConvert a number between arbitrary bases

Description

base_convert(string $num, int $from_base, int $to_base): string

Returns a string containing num represented in base to_base. The base in which num is given is specified in from_base. Both from_base and to_base have to be between 2 and 36, inclusive. Digits in numbers with a base higher than 10 will be represented with the letters a-z, with a meaning 10, b meaning 11 and z meaning 35. The case of the letters doesn't matter, i.e. num is interpreted case-insensitively.

Warning

base_convert() may lose precision on large numbers due to properties related to the internal float type used. Please see the Floating point numbers section in the manual for more specific information and limitations.

Parameters

num

The number to convert. Any invalid characters in num are silently ignored. As of PHP 7.4.0 supplying any invalid characters is deprecated.

from_base

The base num is in

to_base

The base to convert num to

Return Values

num converted to base to_base

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 base_convert() example

<?php
$hexadecimal
= 'a37334';
echo
base_convert($hexadecimal, 16, 2);
?>

The above example will output:

101000110111001100110100

Convert an arbitrarily large number from any base to any base.

string convBase(string $numberInput, string $fromBaseInput, string $toBaseInput)
$numberInput number to convert as a string
$fromBaseInput base of the number to convert as a string
$toBaseInput base the number should be converted to as a string
examples for $fromBaseInput and $toBaseInput
'0123456789ABCDEF' for Hexadecimal (Base16)
'0123456789' for Decimal (Base10)
'01234567' for Octal (Base8)
'01' for Binary (Base2)
You can really put in whatever you want and the first character is the 0.
Examples:

<?php
convBase
('123', '0123456789', '01234567');
//Convert '123' from decimal (base10) to octal (base8).
//result: 173

convBase('70B1D707EAC2EDF4C6389F440C7294B51FFF57BB', '0123456789ABCDEF', '01');
//Convert '70B1D707EAC2EDF4C6389F440C7294B51FFF57BB' from hexadecimal (base16) to binary (base2).
//result:

//Convert '1324523453243154324542341524315432113200203012' from senary (base6) to hexadecimal (base16).
//result: 1F9881BAD10454A8C23A838EF00F50

convBase('355927353784509896715106760','0123456789','Christopher');
//Convert '355927353784509896715106760' from decimal (base10) to undecimal (base11) using "Christopher" as the numbers.
//result: iihtspiphoeCrCeshhorsrrtrh

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

While not immediately clear from the description above, a negative sign is also "silently ignored".

base_convert("-12", 10, 10) => 12

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)

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 );
}

?>

If you would like to convert numbers into just the uppercase alphabet base and vice-versa (e.g. the column names in a Microsoft Windows Excel sheet..A-Z, AA-ZZ, AAA-ZZZ, ...), the following functions will do this.

<?php

/**
* Converts an integer into the alphabet base (A-Z).
*
* @param int $n This is the number to convert.
* @return string The converted number.
* @author Theriault
*
*/
function num2alpha($n) {
$r = '';
for (
$i = 1; $n >= 0 && $i < 10; $i++) {
$r = chr(0x41 + ($n % pow(26, $i) / pow(26, $i - 1))) . $r;
$n -= pow(26, $i);
}
return
$r;
}
/**
* Converts an alphabetic string into an integer.
*
* @param int $n This is the number to convert.
* @return string The converted number.
* @author Theriault
*
*/
function alpha2num($a) {
$r = 0;
$l = strlen($a);
for (
$i = 0; $i < $l; $i++) {
$r += pow(26, $i) * (ord($a[$l - $i - 1]) - 0x40);
}
return
$r - 1;
}

?>

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.

<?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

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.

If you want to do sharding, at some point you will need to decide which shard to target. Here is a simple function to assign the data to a particular shard based on a key (usually identifier of the row)

Here is a simple function to get the shard based on the key and the number of shards available

<?php
function getShard($key,$nbShards) {
$num = substr(base_convert(sha1($key), 16, 10),4,6);
return
$num%$nbShards;

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

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.

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!

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

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.

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

$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

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.

A simple function to convert an int to any base.

<?php
function intToAlphaBaseN($n,$baseArray) {
$l=count($baseArray);
$s = '';
for (
$i = 1; $n >= 0 && $i < 10; $i++) {
$s = $baseArray[($n % pow($l, $i) / pow($l, $i - 1))].$s;
$n -= pow($l, $i);
}
return
$s;
}

$alpha=array('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'y', 'z');
$r=rand(0, 99999999999);
echo(

base convert is limited on standard base invented.
In some case, if you want to invented some translate code (for authorizion code 4 example) , I hope is usefull this example of base_convert-AS from decimal in 65imal base for a speedCode.
Some more specifical: you can transform using a db
$speedCodeDEC = $idAziendaMittente.$idAziendaDestinatario.$idDDT ;

//$speedCodeDEC = 3000;

//
$BASECODE = array();
$BASECODE['items'] = 65;
$BASECODE[1]='1';
$BASECODE[2]='2';
$BASECODE[3]='3';
$BASECODE[4]='4';
....
$BASECODE[10]='a';
$BASECODE[11]='b';
$BASECODE[12]='c';
...
$BASECODE[36]='A';
$BASECODE[37]='B';
$BASECODE[38]='C';
...
$BASECODE[61]='Z';
$BASECODE[62]='/';
$BASECODE[63]='-';
$BASECODE[64]='+';
//

//print_r ($BASECODE);TEST

function creaSpeedCode ( $speedCodeDEC,$partialCode="",$BASECODE){

@$division = $speedCodeDEC/$BASECODE['items'];
@$resultINT = floor($speedCodeDEC/$BASECODE['items']);
@$remnant = $speedCodeDEC%$BASECODE['items'];
$partialCode = $BASECODE[$remnant].$partialCode;
echo "

Inserito speedCodeDEC:$speedCodeDEC - partialCode:$partialCode<br>
items : ".$BASECODE['items']."<br>
division : $division <br>
resultINT : $resultINT <br>
remnant : $remnant <br>
partialCode : $partialCode <br>
";//TEST
if ($resultINT > 65) $partialCode = creaSpeedCode($resultINT,$partialCode,$BASECODE);
