hex2bin

(PHP 5 >= 5.4.0, PHP 7)

hex2bin转换十六进制字符串为二进制字符串

说明

hex2bin ( string $data ) : string

转换十六进制字符串为二进制字符串。

Caution

这个函数不是 转换十六进制数字为二进制数字。这种转换可以使用base_convert() 函数。

参数

data

十六进制表示的数据

返回值

返回给定数据的二进制表示 或者在失败时返回 FALSE

错误/异常

如果输入的十六进制字符串是奇数长数或者无效的十六进制字符串将会抛出 E_WARNING 级别的错误。

更新日志

版本 说明
5.5.1 如果输入的字符串是无效的十六进制字符串则抛出一个警告,
5.4.4 如果输入的字符串有多余将抛出异常。 PHP 5.4.0 起字符串将被静默地接受,但是最后的字节会被截断。

范例

Example #1 hex2bin() 例子

<?php
$hex 
hex2bin("6578616d706c65206865782064617461");
var_dump($hex);
?>

以上例程的输出类似于:

string(16) "example hex data"

replace

function Hex2Bin($data) {
    $BinData = "";
    for ($i=0;$i<strlen($data);$i+=2)
        $BinData .= chr( HexDec( substr($data,$i,2) ) );
    return $BinData;

With

function hextobin($hexstr)
    {
        $n = strlen($hexstr);
        $sbin="";  
        $i=0;
        while($i<$n)
        {      
            $a =substr($hexstr,$i,2);          
            $c = pack("H*",$a);
            if ($i==0){$sbin=$c;}
            else {$sbin.=$c;}
            $i+=2;
        }
        return $sbin;

Ran into an interesting case with hex2bin and php5.5.12 while upgrading from 5.3.3 -> 5.5.12

The previous code had redeclared the hex2bin function with the $binary_string = pack("H*" , $hex_string) trick.

php5.5.12 would have none of that. The solution, albeit a hacky one, was doing a find an replace of hex2bin to 'hex3bin' for the whole site directory.

Case of an incomplete hex string following function may help:
<?php
function make2validhex($data){
   
$data = (string) $data;
   
$len = strlen($data);
    if(
$len % 2) {
        return
substr($data, 0, $len -1);
    }
    return
$data;
}
?>
test:
<?php
$string
="not complete";
echo
$string;
echo
PHP_EOL;
$hex = bin2hex($string); //"6e6f7420636f6d706c657465"
echo $hex;
echo
PHP_EOL;
$deff = substr ($hex, 0, strlen($hex) -1);//"6e6f7420636f6d706c65746"
echo $deff;
echo
PHP_EOL;
echo
hex2bin(make2validhex($deff)); //"not complet"
echo PHP_EOL;
?>

A drop-in hex2bin emulator which behaves just like the the one in v5.5.1.

<?php
if (!function_exists('hex2bin')) {
    function
hex2bin($data) {
        static
$old;
        if (
$old === null) {
           
$old = version_compare(PHP_VERSION, '5.2', '<');
        }
       
$isobj = false;
        if (
is_scalar($data) || (($isobj = is_object($data)) && method_exists($data, '__toString'))) {
            if (
$isobj && $old) {
               
ob_start();
                echo
$data;
               
$data = ob_get_clean();
            }
            else {
               
$data = (string) $data;
            }
        }
        else {
           
trigger_error(__FUNCTION__.'() expects parameter 1 to be string, ' . gettype($data) . ' given', E_USER_WARNING);
            return;
//null in this case
       
}
       
$len = strlen($data);
        if (
$len % 2) {
           
trigger_error(__FUNCTION__.'(): Hexadecimal input string must have an even length', E_USER_WARNING);
            return
false;
        }
        if (
strspn($data, '0123456789abcdefABCDEF') != $len) {
           
trigger_error(__FUNCTION__.'(): Input string must be hexadecimal string', E_USER_WARNING);
            return
false;
        }
        return
pack('H*', $data);
    }
}
?>

I modified the function by Johnson a bit so it can be used as a drop-in-replacement. You don't need to worry about upgrading php because when it is upgraded, it will use the build in function.

<?php
if ( !function_exists( 'hex2bin' ) ) {
    function
hex2bin( $str ) {
       
$sbin = "";
       
$len = strlen( $str );
        for (
$i = 0; $i < $len; $i += 2 ) {
           
$sbin .= pack( "H*", substr( $str, $i, 2 ) );
        }

        return
$sbin;
    }
}
?>

For those who have php version prior to 5.4, i have a solution to convert hex to binary. It works for me in an encryption and decryption application.

<?php
       
function hextobin($hexstr)
    {
       
$n = strlen($hexstr);
       
$sbin="";  
       
$i=0;
        while(
$i<$n)
        {      
           
$a =substr($hexstr,$i,2);          
           
$c = pack("H*",$a);
            if (
$i==0){$sbin=$c;}
            else {
$sbin.=$c;}
           
$i+=2;
        }
        return
$sbin;
    }
?>

A way to convert hex strings in the form "0x123ABC" to integer is to use the function base_convert("0x123ABC", 16, 10)

The function pack("H*" , $hex_string); will not work as expected if $hex_string contains an odd number of hexadecimal digits.

For example:

<?php echo ord(pack("H*", 'F')); ?>

will return 240 not 15. Use pack("H*", '0F'); instead.

The function hex2bin does not exist in PHP5.
You can use 'pack' instead :

$binary_string = pack("H*" , $hex_string);
