Large hex values with PHP hexdec

Question

I have some large HEX values that I want to display as regular numbers, I was using hexdec() to convert to float, and I found a function on PHP.net to convert that to decima

Answer 1

$num = gmp_init( '0xD5CE3E462533364B' ); // way to input a number in gmp
echo gmp_strval($num, 10); // display value in decimal

That's the module to use. Convert it to a function and then use on your numbers.

Note: provide these hex numbers as strings so:

$num = "0x348726837469972346"; // set variable
$gmpnum = gmp_init("$num"); // gmp number format
echo gmp_strval($gmpnum, 10); // convert to decimal and print out
