bin2hex — Convert binary data into hexadecimal representation
Parametersstring
A string.
Returns the hexadecimal representation of the given string.
ExamplesExample #1 bin2hex() example
<?php
$hex
= bin2hex('Hello world!');var_dump($hex);
var_dump(hex2bin($hex));
?>
The above example will output:
string(24) "48656c6c6f20776f726c6421" string(12) "Hello world!"See Also tehjosh at gamingg dot net ¶

This function is for converting binary data into a hexadecimal string representation. This function is not for converting strings representing binary digits into hexadecimal. If you want that functionality, you can simply do this:
<?php
$binary = "11111001";
$hex = dechex(bindec($binary));
echo $hex;
?>
This would output "f9". Just remember that there is a very big difference between binary data and a string representation of binary. j_lozinskit at yahoo dot co dot uk ¶

A good option for creating strings with binary data for saving (for example saving an sql statement to a file) into text files or php code is to do the following:
<?php
$field=bin2hex($field);
$field=chunk_split($field,2,"\\x");
$field= "\\x" . substr($field,0,-2);
?>
this will convert your field (binary or not) into hex and then convert the hex into a string which may be placed in a php file:
FFFFFFFF -> \xFF\xFF\xFF\xFF

In an attempt to dodge spam bots I've seen people (including myself) hex encode their email addresses in "mailto" tags. This is the small chunk of code I wrote to automate the process:
<?php
function hex_encode ($email_address) {
$encoded = bin2hex("$email_address");
$encoded = chunk_split($encoded, 2, '%');
$encoded = '%' . substr($encoded, 0, strlen($encoded) - 1);
return $encoded;
}
?>
so for example:
<a href="mailto:<?=hex_encode("pedram@redhive.com")?>">email me</a>
would produce the following address:
%70%65%64%72%61%6d%40%72%65%64%68%69%76%65%2e%63%6f%6d

I was just browsing the above and with a little modification,
came up with the following which I believe to be more flexible:
<?php
function bin2hex($data) {
$corrected = ereg_replace("[^0-9a-fA-F]","",$data);
return pack("H".strlen($corrected),$corrected);
}
?>
This will make sure that whatever you pass, even if it is padded
at the extremeties or between pairs, should return the desired data. subdivizion at gmail dot com ¶

Here's a function to check if a string contains any 7-bit GSM characters.
It might come useful for people working on SMS platforms.
<?php function check_gsm($str)
{
$arr = array(
"0x00", "0x01", "0x02", "0x03", "0x04", "0x05","0x06","0x07","0x08","0x09",

$pos = in_array($char,$arr);
if ($pos == 1)
{
$j++;
}
}
if (
$j < $strl)
{
return false;
}
else
{
return true;
}
}
