A PHP Function Called Octec
PHP is a powerful programming language that allows you to do a lot of math operations. One of the most useful functions is the is_nan() function, which is used to determine whether a value is not a number (NaN). Today we’re going to discuss another built in PHP function called octdec. This function converts an octal representation into a decimal equivalent.
The octdec() function takes an octal string as its argument and returns an integer that represents that octal string in decimal form. It works for values that are prefixed with 0 or o and also for values that don’t have any of these prefixes. It can even handle octal strings that contain a space or a tilde
This function is part of the base_convert() family of functions which allow you to convert numbers between different bases. For example the decbin() function converts a decimal number into a binary number, the hexdec() function converts a decimal number to hexadecimal and the decoct() function converts hexadecimal to octal.
This is a really handy function to have when working with numbers in PHP and we hope you find it helpful too! Let us know in the comments if you have any questions or feedback. Don’t forget to share this article if you found it useful! Thanks, — Shodor Apprentices
