octdec

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

octdec — Octal to decimal

Description

number octdec ( string $octal_string )

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

Parameters

octal_string: The octal string to convert

Return Values

The decimal representation of octal_string

Changelog

Version	Description
Since 4.1.0	The function can now convert numbers that are too large to fit into the platforms integer type, larger values are returned as float in that case.

Examples

Example #1 octdec() example


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

The above example will output:

63
45


Hi, this is an attempt to explain octdec(). 



There is one bug, if input is not octal, it doesn't return a proper decimal.



<?php 



$octal = (int) "764";



function octal_to_decimal($int)

    {                

        $data = integer;

        $i = (strlen($int) - 1);    

        $parse_int = str_split($int);

        foreach($parse_int as $value)

            {

                $data += (int)($value * pow(8, $i));

                $i--;

            }        

        return $data;

    }

/**

*    explanation of the PHP function octdec()

*/

print octal_to_decimal($octal) . "<br />";



/**

*    the PHP function octdec()

*/

print octdec($octal);



?>

Number is octal?



Simple and easy:



<?php



function is_octal($x) {

    return decoct(octdec($x)) == $x;

}



echo is_octal(077); // true

echo is_octal(195); // false



?>



Thanks

Calling the sticky bit "text" is not erroneous: On UNIX back in 1974, it instructed the operating system to retain the text segment of the program in swap space after the process exited. This speeded subsequent executions by allowing the kernel to make a single operation of moving the program from swap to real memory.

The 'S' flag for Unix file access rights is badly computed in the above sample.

If the corresponding 'x' bit (exec) is not set, and the 's' bit (setgid/setuid/sticky) is set, then the flag should not be displayed as and uppercase 'S', but as a lower case 's'. Also the sticky bit (mainly used for folders with public right access rights such as /tmp to protect against deletion by non owner) is badly named ("text"?).

This function and decoct work great when working with file permissions. For example:





<?php


    $mode = octdec('4750');


    


    $user['suid']     = ($mode & 04000);


    $user['read']     = ($mode & 00400);


    $user['write']    = ($mode & 00200);


    $user['execute']  = ($mode & 00100);


    


    $group['sgid']    = ($mode & 02000);


    $group['read']    = ($mode & 00040);


    $group['write']   = ($mode & 00020);


    $group['execute'] = ($mode & 00010);


    


    $other['text']    = ($mode & 01000);


    $other['read']    = ($mode & 00004);


    $other['write']   = ($mode & 00002);


    $other['execute'] = ($mode & 00001);


    


    $attrs = array('-','-','-','-','-','-','-','-','-','-');


    


    if ($system['dir']) $attrs[0] = 'd';


    


    if ($user['read']) $attrs[1] = 'r';


    if ($user['write']) $attrs[2] = 'w';


    if ($user['execute']) $attrs[3] = 'x';


    if ($user['suid']) $attrs[3] = 'S';


    


    if ($group['read']) $attrs[4] = 'r';


    if ($group['write']) $attrs[5] = 'w';


    if ($group['execute']) $attrs[6] = 'x';


    if ($group['sgid']) $attrs[6] = 'S';





    if ($other['read']) $attrs[7] = 'r';


    if ($other['write']) $attrs[8] = 'w';


    if ($other['execute']) $attrs[9] = 'x';


    if ($other['text']) $attrs[9] = 'T';


    


    echo '<pre>';


    echo 'Mode Decimal: ' . $mode . "\n";


    echo 'Mode Octal: ' . decoct($mode) . "\n";


    echo 'Mode String: ' . implode('',$attrs)."\n";


    echo '</pre>';


?>





Outputs:





Mode Decimal: 2536


Mode Octal: 4750


Mode String: -rwSr-x---
