Is there a dec to char function prebuilt in php?
« on: November 19, 2009, 03:52:26 AM »
I'm trying to make a quick converter for one of the missions on hts. And i need to know if there's a built in Dec to the char equivalent. If there is not then i can just code one, or atleast believe i shoudl be able to.

Even the most simplified C64 Basic had this one :)

now i saw this in there. But for some reason, i didn't know how well it'd work. :P since they were confusing it by me. Now to sit down and start working with it. Thanks for clarifying that it's truly what i thought it was.

Be aware this is only for ASCII characters. You cannot, for instance, retrieve a UTF-8 character with this function.

PHP is still trying to become truly multi-byte character compliant. In fact, PHP 6 is supposed to ship with the default encoding set to UTF-8 (at least, to the last of my knowledge).
