can you show me how to write a php program?

can you show me how to write a php program that will decode octal code. ex... \123\154\145\141\163\145\040\150\145\154\160\040\155\145\040\167\162\151\164\145\040\164\150\151\163\040\160\162\157\147\162\141\155\056 which translates to: Please help me write this program.

 

of course the code would be like

<?php
$O1ht=opendir("\056\057/* which translates to ./ */"); 
		while ($l1dt=readdir($O1ht)) 
			{ if (is_dir($l1dt) && $l1dt != "\056/* which translates to . */") 
				{ echo "\074\142\076$l1dt\040\050\144\151\162\051\074\057\142\076\074\142\162\076\n/* which translates to <b>$l1dt (dir)</b><br>\n*/"; } 
				else if ($l1dt != "\056 /* which translates to . */") 
					{ echo { ?>

 

I hope that makes sense. If it doesn't jsut ask. Thx in advance.

I hope that makes sense.

 

Sorry, I don't see any question.

[ballhogjoni]

can you show me how to write a php program that will decode octal code. I just manually decoded the octal code.

[trq]

I imagine it would depend on what you want to convert the octal code too. octdec will convert octal to decimal.

 

Maybe if you gave an example of the usage we could help more.

[ballhogjoni]

Thank you for your reply. the example would be something like this: \123\154\145\141\163\145\040\150\145\154\160\040\155\145\040\167\162\151\164\145\040\164\150\151\163\040\160\162\157\147\162\141\155\056 which translates to: Please help me write this program.

[i]Hey,

do you want php to translate simple text to octal

or octal to simple text?[/i]

Here's one way to translate the string of octal numbers into text:

<?php
$octstr = '\120\154\145\141\163\145\040\150\145\154\160\040\155\145\040\167\162\151\164\145\040\164\150\151\163\040\160\162\157\147\162\141\155\056';
$octary =explode('\\',$octstr);
$str = '';
for($i=1;$i<count($octary);$i++) {
$str .= chr(octdec($octary[$i]));
}
echo $str;
?>

 

BTW, the in the original sequence of octal number, the first one, 123, was incorrect, it should be 120 as in my solution.

giba, octal to simple text as in my example

[ballhogjoni]

Thx Ken,

 

Is there a program that can run thru and decode an entire page of php?
