Converts a binary number to its decimal equivalent. However unlike the bindec function, this will preserve the binary/radix point.
Code
/** * Convert a binary number with our without * a radix point to its decimal equivalent. * * @param $binary The binary number to convert. * @param $output Show the calculations. * @return The decimal conversion */ function bin2dec($binary, $output = false) { $N = 0; $o = ""; list ( $rhs, $lhs ) = explode ( ".", $binary ); $rhs = strrev ( $rhs ); for($i = 0; $i < strlen ( $rhs ); $i ++) { $d = $rhs [$i] * pow ( 2, $i ); $N = $d + $N; $o = ($d == 0) ? $o : $o . $d . " + "; } for($i = 0; $i < strlen ( $lhs ); $i ++) { $d = $lhs [$i] * pow ( 2, - ($i + 1) ); $N = $d + $N; $o = ($d == 0) ? $o : $o . $d . " + "; } return ($output) ? substr ( $o, 0, - 3 ) . " = " . $N : $N; }
Usage
echo bin2dec ( "1011101.1000101", true );
Output
1 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 64 + 0.5 + 0.03125 + 0.0078125 = 93.5390625
Usage
echo bin2dec ( "1011101.1000101");
Output
93.5390625
