Convenient way of generating API keys

<?php
$apikey
= bin2hex(random_bytes(32)); // generates 64 characters long string /^[0-9a-f]{64}$/
?>

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",
"0x0A","0x0B","0x0C","0x0D","0x0E","0x0F","0x10","0x11","0x12","0x13",
"0x14","0x15","0x16","0x17","0x18","0x19","0x1A","0x1B","0x1B0A",

$strl = strlen($str);
    for (
$i = 0;$i < $strl; $i++)
    {
       
$char = '0x' . bin2hex(substr($str,$i,1));
       
$pos = in_array($char,$arr);
        if (
$pos == 1)
        {
           
$j++;
        }
    }
 
    if (
$j < $strl)
    {
        return
false;
    }
    else

        return
true;

Regarding the fabled hex2bin, the easiest way I've found to "replace" it is the following call to function pack():

<?php
$bin_str
= pack("H*" , $hex_str);   
?>
chaos79 03-Oct-2008 08:30
Because the way back (hex2bin) doesn't exist on php, i've written another little function without using commands like pack:

<?php
// Convert a hex-string to binary-string (the way back from bin2hex)

function hex2bin($h)
  {
  if (!
is_string($h)) return null;
 
$r='';
  for (
$a=0; $a<strlen($h); $a+=2) { $r.=chr(hexdec($h{$a}.$h{($a+1)})); }
  return
$r;
  }

echo
bin2hex('Hello'); // result: 48656c6c6f
echo hex2bin('48656c6c6f'); // result: Hello
?>

The most simple way to do binary (10101010 or so) to hex is
<?PHP echo dechex(bindec(10101010)); ?>
kissifrot at gmail dot com 26-Nov-2007 02:37
hex2bin can be useful to insert data into BLOB binary fields.

for example if you want to insert the content of a file :

<?php
$filename
= '/foo/bar';
$bin_content = fread(fopen($filename,"r"),filesize($filename));

// use the usual mysql_connect() function

$insert_query = "INSERT INTO mytable (blob_field) VALUES ('".bin2hex($bin_content)."')";
mysql_query($insert_query);

?>

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.

This function returns the string $str in htmlentity hex format (&#xnumber;).
It is useful to prevent spam bots indexing your email adress.

<?php

function hexentities($str) {
   
$return = '';
    for(
$i = 0; $i < strlen($str); $i++) {
       
$return .= '&#x'.bin2hex(substr($str, $i, 1)).';';
    }
    return
$return;
}

?>

example:
<?php echo 'email: <address>'.hexentities('foo@bar').'</address>'; ?>
will return:

email: <address>&#x66;&#x6f;&#x6f;&#x40;&#x62;&#x61;&#x72;</address>

the browser will show foo@bar.

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

modified version of Thoth's hexbin and binhex to convert
any size numbers
(original doesn't take more than integer - 32bit)
<?
function hexbin($hex){
    $bin='';
    for($i=0;$i<strlen($hex);$i++)
        $bin.=str_pad(decbin(hexdec($hex{$i})),4,'0',STR_PAD_LEFT);
       return $bin;
}

function binhex($bin){
    $hex='';
    for($i=strlen($bin)-4;$i>=0;$i-=4)
        $hex.=dechex(bindec(substr($bin,$i,4)));
   return strrev($hex);
}
?>

Here's a modified version of an earlier post (asc2bin and bin2asc) to convert an incoming ascii string to hex and out again.  For example, this is really useful if you want to insert data into a mySQL database which contains both escaped and non-escaped characters.  For example, if you want to store code snibbets in a mySQL text field:

printf("here's some \"text\".");

If you INSERT this into mySQL, it probably won't come out in friendly executable format, and you can't escape all double-quotes, nor can you strip out all the slashes.  One solution is to just convert the string to hex, store it in hex, then convert back to ascii before using it in some way:

function asc2hex ($temp) {
   $len = strlen($temp);
   for ($i=0; $i<$len; $i++) $data.=sprintf("%02x",ord(substr($temp,$i,1)));
   return $data;
}

function hex2asc($temp) {
   $len = strlen($temp);
   for ($i=0;$i<$len;$i+=2) $data.=chr(hexdec(substr($temp,$i,2)));
   return $data;
}

My version of quoted-printable mail subject converting function (maybe not as effective, but preserving characters which don't need conversion).
Martin
<?php
// Transfer mail subject into Quoted Printable encoding
function mail_quote_subj($str, $charset){
   
$out = '';
    for(
$i = 0; $i < strlen($str); $i++){
       
$out .= (ord($str[$i]) > 127) ? "=" . bin2hex($str[$i]) : $str[$i];
    }
    return
"=?$charset?Q?".$out."?=";
};
?>
AntonioAlcorn at yahoo dot coma 19-Apr-2004 11:34
In response to Patrik:
A simpler way to print a number in binary is to use base_convert().
<? echo base_convert($bin, 10, 2); ?>
If you need it to print all 32 bits (as your function does) you can just pad it out:
<? echo str_pad(base_convert($bin, 10, 2), 32, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT); ?>
The conversion is from base 10 because when $bin is passed to base_convert(), it is converted to a string, and the default representation is in decimal.
Hope this helps.
Patrik 01-Feb-2004 09:14
I needed a little function that will print the binary as a string, here it comes.

<?php
function bin2string($bin) {
   
$res = "";
    for(
$p=31; $p >= 0; $p--) {
     
$res .= ($bin & (1 << $p)) ? "1" : "0";
    }
    return
$res;
}
?>

Ok, this is a better version than my previous poor example.

Running this in shell creates a progress indicator. Very useful if used when parsing large log files for instance.

#!/usr/bin/php4 -q
<?
// Displays a progress indicator
function progress($line)
{
        global $last_len;

        $del_char = pack("H" . 2, "7F");
        $line_len = strlen($line);
        $del_chars=(isset($last_len)) ? $last_len : $line_len;

        $last_len = $line_len;
        return str_repeat($del_char, ($del_chars)).$line;
}

// demo code:
for($i=0;$i<100;$i++)
{
        sleep(1);
        echo progress("i is now: $i out of 100");
}
?>
Thoth 24-Oct-2003 05:24
I thought it'll give me an "F" if i give it a "1111"...

Here's something to convert a binary-string into a hex-string and other direction too:

<?php
function hexbin($hex) {
   
$bin = decbin(hexdec($hex));
    return
$bin;
}

function
binhex($bin) {
   
$hex = dechex(bindec($bin));
    return
$hex;
}
?>

simple, isn't it?

function to search a character in a normal string change this for a hexadecimal and take the especifical char code in hexa and replace this char and return the string

<?php
function hex_replace($pCaracter,$sCaracter,$conteudo) {
   
   
$pHex = bin2hex($pCaracter);
   
$sHex = bin2hex($sCaracter);
       
   
$tam = strlen($conteudo);   
       
    for(
$i = 0; $i <= $tam; $i++) {
       
$cont = bin2hex(substr($conteudo,$i,1));
  
        if (
$cont == $pHex) {
          
$cont = $sHex;
          
$hex .= $cont;
        }
    }
       
    for (
$i=0;$i<strlen($hex);$i+=2)
         
$bin .= chr(hexdec(substr($hex,$i,2)));
    return
$bin;
}
?>

Some gave a function to convert a hex code back into a simple text (human readable ASCII :P)

Some else gave a function that makes use of bin2hex to convert URLs into something like %12%34%56

Here is a function to go from the form %12%34%56 back into ASCII

Note that this function can easily be changed in order to transform any hex code into ASCII

<?
function _hex2text($str) {
    $str = explode('%', $str);
    array_shift($str);
    $nmlstr = '';
    foreach($str as $hexstr) {
      $nmlstr .= chr(base_convert($hexstr, 16, 10));
    }   
    return $nmlstr;
}
?>

'hope this helps :)

This function undoes it (converts back into ASCII).

<?php
function hex2asc($myin) {
for (
$i=0; $i<strlen($myin)/2; $i++) {
$myout.=chr(base_convert(substr($myin,$i*2,2),16,10));
}
return
$myout;
}
?>

Hopefully this helps someone...

It just displays an html representation of hex data, much like a hex viewer would.

Matt

<?php
function hexview($data){
 
$bytePosition = $columnCount = $lineCount = 0;
 
$columns = 8;
 
$dataLength = strlen($data);
 
$return = array();
 
$return[] = '<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">';
  for(
$n = 0; $n < $dataLength; $n++){
   
$lines[$lineCount][$columnCount++] = substr($data, $n, 1);
    if(
$columnCount == $columns){
     
$lineCount++;
     
$columnCount = 0;
    }
  }
  foreach(
$lines as $line){
   
$return[] = '<tr><td align="right">'.$bytePosition.': </td>';
    for(
$n = 0; $n < $columns; $n++){
     
$return[] = '<td>'.strtoupper(bin2hex($line[$n])).'</td>';
    }
   
$return[] = '<td> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </td>';
    for(
$n = 0; $n < $columns; $n++){
     
$return[] = '<td>'.(htmlentities($line[$n]) ? htmlentities($line[$n]) : '&nbsp;').'</td>';
    }
   
$return[] = '</tr>';
   
$bytePosition = $bytePosition + $columns;
  }
 
$return[] = '</table>';
  return
implode('', $return);
}
?>

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.

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:&lt;?=hex_encode("[email protected]")?>">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
