ascii to hex

I need to convert ascii chars to hex chars.

I searched the internet, found hex to ascii, but nowhere is there a
ascii to hex method created by anyone.

Can anyone help me with that?

Hi,

You question is a bit confusing. :-)
hex is nothing more than a 16-base notation.
ascii is definition to declare the first 128 values of a byte to characters
(or more depending on which one you pick).

So that are two different animals.

In PHP:

int -ascii char : chr()
http://nl2.php.net/manual/en/function.chr.php

ascii -int : ord()
http://nl2.php.net/manual/en/function.ord.php

Note that the int is 10-base, so you'll have to transform it into hex by
using dexhex() and hexdec() depending on the direction. :-)

Also, this may be of use:
http://www.lookuptables.com/

Hope that helps you going.

Regards,

I created such a method some time ago - maybe it can help you...

function ascii2hex($asci i) {
$hex = '';
for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($ascii); $i++) {
$byte = strtoupper(dech ex(ord($ascii{$ i})));
$byte = str_repeat('0', 2 - strlen($byte)). $byte;
$hex.=$byte." ";
}
return $hex;
}

function hex2ascii($hex) {
$ascii='';
$hex=str_replac e(" ", "", $hex);
for($i=0; $i<strlen($hex) ; $i=$i+2) {
$ascii.=chr(hex dec(substr($hex , $i, 2)));
}
return($ascii);
}

$hex = "64";
$ascii = "a";
echo chr(hexdec($hex ));
echo dechex(ord($asc ii));

Thanks all,

I found it thanks to these posts:

$len = strlen('The lenght of the text is 28');

$a = round(($len / 16));
$b = round(($len - 16) * $a);

echo chr(dechex($b)) ;

That makes no sense to me. But I'm not gonna say anything, if you feel you
got it right and you think it somehow works (does what you want to do) then
it's okay. But it does not, however, convert a hex to an ascii. instead it
converts "something" (I have absolutely no idea what the string length and a
few mathematical operations are supposed to produce) from decimal number to
hex and that to ascii which is totally not what you asked. But perhpas this
is what you want, I dunno...

Hi, I have an Html document that declares that it uses the utf-8 character set.

Many thanks for those who responded to my question of "putting greek char into C string". In searching for an solution, I noticed that there are more than one version of "Extended ASCII characters"(No. 128 to 255) . e.g., in one version No. 224 is the symbol alpha, in another, it's a "a" with a ` on it... How come? You can see it here: http://www.kturby.com/cables/ascii2.htm

Hi, everyone. I got a question. How can I identify whether a file is a binary file or an ascii text file? For instance, I wrote a piece of code and saved as "Test.c". I knew it was an ascii text file. Then after compilation, I got a "Test" file and it was a binary executable file. The problem is, I know the type of those two files in my mind because I executed the process of compilation, but how can I make the computer know the type of a...

Hello, I'm a bit stuck trying to convert a text file which contains extended ASCII text and changing the ASCII values so they become readable. I do this by subtracting 127 from the ASCII value. However, at the moment I am just getting more gibberish so I'm probably doing something wrong. I tried using ASCII Encoding before to get the ASCII values. Although this worked for 0-127 ASCII values, extended ASCII gave strange values (such as 1992...
