bindec — Umwandlung von binär zu dezimal
Gibt die dezimale Entsprechung der binären Zahl aus dem binary_string-Parameter zurück-
bindec() konvertiert eine binäre Zahl in einen integer oder, falls aus Größengründen benötigt, in einen float.
Der zu konvertierende Binärstring
Der Dezimalwert von binary_string
| Version | Beschreibung | 
|---|---|
| Seit 4.1.0 | Die Funktion kann nun Werte, die zu groß für ein integer der jeweiligen Plattform ist, stattdessen als float zurückgeben. | 
Beispiel #1 bindec()-Beispiel
<?php
echo bindec('110011') . "\n";
echo bindec('000110011') . "\n";
echo bindec('111');
?>
Das oben gezeigte Beispiel erzeugt folgende Ausgabe:
51 51 7
Two functions to convert 16bit or 8bit binary to integer using two's complement. If input exceeds maximum bits, false is returned. Function is easily scalable to x bits by changing the hexadecimals.
<?php function _bin16dec($bin) {
    // Function to convert 16bit binary numbers to integers using two's complement
    $num = bindec($bin);
    if($num > 0xFFFF) { return false; }
    if($num >= 0x8000) {
        return -(($num ^ 0xFFFF)+1);
    } else {
        return $num;
    }
}
function _bin8dec($bin) {
    // Function to convert 8bit binary numbers to integers using two's complement
    $num = bindec($bin);
    if($num > 0xFF) { return false; }
    if($num >= 0x80) {
        return -(($num ^ 0xFF)+1);
    } else {
        return $num;
    }
} ?>
Binary to Decimal conversion using the BCMath extension..
<?php
function BCBin2Dec($Input='') {
  $Output='0';
  if(preg_match("/^[01]+$/",$Input)) {
    for($i=0;$i<strlen($Input);$i++)
      $Output=BCAdd(BCMul($Output,'2'),$Input{$i});
  }
  return($Output);
}
?>
This will simply convert from Base-2 to Base-10 using BCMath (arbitrary precision calculation).
See also: my 'BCDec2Bin' function on the 'decbin' document.
Enjoy,

<?php    
// bindecfunc :)))) I think it works well too :)
function bindecc($str)
    {
        $str = str_replace(" ", "", $str);
        $strr = preg_match('/[^01]/', $str);
        if($strr == 1) { return "<b> Error ! only 1 and 0;</b>"; }
        $strsig = strlen($str);
        $strr1 = strrev($str);
        $strf = '';
        for($i = $strsig; $i >= 0; $i--)
        {
            $strf += ($strr1[$i] * pow(2, $i));
            #$strf += $str[$i];
        }
        return $strf;
    }
?>
for converting fractions : 
eg : 1001.1101 
<?php
function BinaryToDecimal($binary){
  $binary=trim($binary);
  if (strstr($binary,'.')){
    $split=explode('.',$binary);
    $integer=$split[0];
    $fraction=$split[1];
    $digits=str_split($fraction);
    $num=sizeof($digits);
    for ($i=1; $i<=$num;$i++){
      if ($digits[$i-1]>1){
        echo '<script>alert("Enter Binary Digits Only {0,1}\n \n eg: 11001 or 11001.011");history.go(-1)</script> ';
      }
      $exponent=pow(2,-$i);
      $fraction_result+=$digits[$i-1]*$exponent;
    }
  }else{
    $integer=$binary;
  }
  $splits=str_split($integer);
  $num=sizeof($splits)-1;
  $i=$num;
  foreach($splits as $digits){
    if ($digits>1){
      echo '<script>alert("Enter Binary Digits Only {0,1}\n \n eg: 11001 or 11001.011");history.go(-1)</script> ';
    }
    $exponent=pow(2,$i);
    $integer_result+=$digits*$exponent;
    $i--;
  }
  if($fraction_result){
    $result=$integer_result+$fraction_result;
  }else {
    $result=$integer_result;
  }
  return $result ;
}
?>
A binary to decimal conversion function that takes advantage of the BC library functions to return decimal values of arbitrary length.
Input type must be a string in order to work properly.
<?php
function binary_to_decimal($a) {
    $bin_array = str_split($a);
    $y=sizeof($bin_array)-1;
    for ($x=0; $x<sizeof($bin_array)-1; $x++) {
        if ($bin_array[$x] == 1) {
            $bin_array[$x] = bcpow(2, $y);
        }
        $y--;
    }
    
    for ($z=0; $z<sizeof($bin_array); $z++) {
        $result = bcadd($result, $bin_array[$z]);
    }
    echo $result; 
}
binary_to_decimal('11111');
?>
The "smartbindec" function I wrote below will convert any binary string (of a reasonable size) to decimal.  It will use two's complement if the leftmost bit is 1, regardless of bit length.  If you are getting unexpected negative answers, try zero-padding your strings with sprintf("%032s", $yourBitString).
<?php
function twoscomp($bin) {
    $out = "";
    $mode = "init";
    for($x = strlen($bin)-1; $x >= 0; $x--) {
        if ($mode != "init")
            $out = ($bin[$x] == "0" ? "1" : "0").$out;
        else {
            if($bin[$x] == "1") {
                $out = "1".$out;
                $mode = "invert";
            }
            else
                $out = "0".$out;
        }
    }
    return $out;
}
function smartbindec($bin) {
    if($bin[0] == 1)
        return -1 * bindec(twoscomp($bin));
    else return (int) bindec($bin);
}
?>
i think a better method than the "shift-method" is my method ^^...
here it comes:
function convert2bin($string) {
     $finished=0;
     $base=1;
     if(preg_match("/[^0-9]/", $string)) {
         for($i=0; $string!=chr($i); $i++);
         $dec_nr=$i;
     }
     else $dec_nr=$string;
     while($dec_nr>$base) {
         $base=$base*2;
         if($base>$dec_nr) {
             $base=$base/2;
             break;
         }
     }
     while(!$finished) {
         if(($dec_nr-$base)>0) {
             $dec_nr=$dec_nr-$base;
             $bin_nr.=1;
             $base=$base/2;
         }
         elseif(($dec_nr-$base)<0) {
             $bin_nr.=0;
             $base=$base/2;
         }
         elseif(($dec_nr-$base)==0) {
             $bin_nr.=1;
             $finished=1;
             while($base>1) {    
                 $bin_nr.=0;
                 $base=$base/2;
             }
         }
     }
     return $bin_nr;
 }
=====================================================
if you want to reconvert it (from binary to string or integer) you can use this function: 
function reconvert($bin_nr) {
     $base=1;
     $dec_nr=0;
     $bin_nr=explode(",", preg_replace("/(.*),/", "$1", str_replace("1", "1,", str_replace("0", "0,", $bin_nr))));
     for($i=1; $i<count($bin_nr); $i++) $base=$base*2;
     foreach($bin_nr as $key=>$bin_nr_bit) {
         if($bin_nr_bit==1) {
             $dec_nr+=$base;
             $base=$base/2;
         }
         if($bin_nr_bit==0) $base=$base/2;
     }
     return(array("string"=>chr($dec_nr), "int"=>$dec_nr));
 }
## calculate binary with "shift-method" ##
<?php
function dec2bin($decimal_code){
 for($half=($decimal_code);$half>=1;$half=(floor($half))/2){
   if(($half%2)!=0){
    $y.=1;
   }
   else{
    $y.=0;
   }
  }
 $calculated_bin=strrev($y);
 return $calculated_bin;
}
?>
## example ##
[bin] 123 = [dec] 1111011
e.g.
123/2 = 61,5 => 1
61/2  = 30,5 => 1
30/2  = 15   => 0
15/2  = 7,5  => 1
7/2   = 3,5  => 1
3/2   = 1,5  => 1
1/2   = 0,5  => 1
(0/2   = 0    finish)
For converting larger-than-31-bit numbers:
<?php
function Bin2Dec($binstring) {
    for ($i=0;$i<strlen($binstring);$i++) {
        $decvalue += ((int) substr($binstring, strlen($binstring) - $i - 1, 1)) * pow(2, $i);
    }
    return $decvalue;
}
?>
