bindec - Binary to decimal

bindec( string$binary_string ): int|float

Returns the decimal equivalent of the binary number represented by the binary_string argument.

bindec converts a binary number to an int or, if needed for size reasons, float.

bindec interprets all binary_string values as unsigned integers. This is because bindec sees the most significant bit as another order of magnitude rather than as the sign bit.

Parameters

binary_string

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

Warning:

The parameter must be a string. Using other data types will produce unexpected results.

Return Values

The decimal value of binary_string

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.

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.
