Use this function to convert a hexa decimal color code to its RGB equivalent. Unlike many other functions provided here, it will work correctly with hex color short hand notation.
Also, if a proper hexa decimal color value is given (6 digits), it uses bit wise operations for faster results.
For eg: #FFF and #FFFFFF will produce the same result
<?php
/**
* Convert a hexa decimal color code to its RGB equivalent
*
* @param string $hexStr (hexadecimal color value)
* @param boolean $returnAsString (if set true, returns the value separated by the separator character. Otherwise returns associative array)
* @param string $seperator (to separate RGB values. Applicable only if second parameter is true.)
* @return array or string (depending on second parameter. Returns False if invalid hex color value)
*/
function hex2RGB($hexStr, $returnAsString = false, $seperator = ',') {
$hexStr = preg_replace("/[^0-9A-Fa-f]/", '', $hexStr); // Gets a proper hex string
$rgbArray = array();
if (strlen($hexStr) == 6) { //If a proper hex code, convert using bitwise operation. No overhead... faster
$colorVal = hexdec($hexStr);
$rgbArray['red'] = 0xFF & ($colorVal >> 0x10);
$rgbArray['green'] = 0xFF & ($colorVal >> 0x8);
$rgbArray['blue'] = 0xFF & $colorVal;
} elseif (strlen($hexStr) == 3) { //if shorthand notation, need some string manipulations
$rgbArray['red'] = hexdec(str_repeat(substr($hexStr, 0, 1), 2));
$rgbArray['green'] = hexdec(str_repeat(substr($hexStr, 1, 1), 2));
$rgbArray['blue'] = hexdec(str_repeat(substr($hexStr, 2, 1), 2));
} else {
return false; //Invalid hex color code
}
return $returnAsString ? implode($seperator, $rgbArray) : $rgbArray; // returns the rgb string or the associative array
} ?>
OUTPUT:
hex2RGB("#FF0") -> array( red =>255, green => 255, blue => 0)
hex2RGB("#FFFF00) -> Same as above
hex2RGB("#FF0", true) -> 255,255,0
hex2RGB("#FF0", true, ":") -> 255:255:0

hexdec doesn't accept numbers following the period.
What if you have a number like c20.db18?
<?php
function floatinghexdec($str)
{
list($intgr,$hex)=explode('.',$str,2);
$intgr=ereg_replace("[^A-Fa-f0-9]", "", $intgr);
$hex=ereg_replace("[^A-Fa-f0-9]", "", $hex);
$answer=0;
for($i=0;$i < strlen($hex); $i++)
{
$digit=hexdec(substr($hex,$i,1))/16; // .f is 15/16 because in decimal .9 is 9/10
$answer += $digit/pow(16,$i);
}
return hexdec($intgr)+$answer;
}
echo floatinghexdec("ff.ff");//255.99609375

The issue I've seen with the existing hex to dec conversion routines is the lack of error-trapping. I stick to the theory that one should try to cover ALL the bases when writing a generalized routine such as this one. I have a varied background that covers a wide variety of design/development languages, on the web as well as desktop apps. As such I've seen multiple formats for writing hex colors.
For example, the color red COULD be written as follows:
#ff0000
&Hff0000
#ff
&Hff
Therefore I have written a function that is case-insensitive and takes into account the chance that different developers have a tendency to format hex colors in different ways.
<?php
function convert_color($hex){
$len = strlen($hex);
$chars = array("#","&","H","h");
$hex = strip_chars($hex, $chars);
preg_match("/([0-9]|[A-F]|[a-f]){".$len."}/i",$hex,$arr);
$hex = $arr[0];
if ($hex) {
switch($len) {
case 2:
$red = hexdec($hex);
$green = 0;
$blue = 0;
break;
case 4:
$red = hexdec(substr($hex,0,2));
$green=hexdec(substr($hex,2,2));
$blue = 0;
break;
case 6:
$red = hexdec(substr($hex,0,2));
$green=hexdec(substr($hex,2,2));
$blue = hexdec(substr($hex,4,2));
break;
};
$color[success] = true;
$color[r] = $red;
$color[g] = $green;
$color[b] = $blue;
return $color;
} else {
$color[success] = false;
$color[error] = "unable to convert hex to dec";
};
}
function strip_chars($string, $char){
$len = strlen($string);
$count = count($char);
if ($count >= 2) {
for ($i=0;$i<=$count;$i++) {
if ($char[$i]) {
$found = stristr($string,$char[$i]);
if ($found) {
$val = substr($string,$found+1,$len-1);
$string = $val;
};
};
};
} else {
$found = stristr($string,$char);
if ($found) {
$val = substr($string,$found+1,$len-1);
};
};
echo $val;
return $val;
}
/*
To use simply use the following function call:
$color = convert_color("#FF");
this will return the following assoc array if successful:
*[success] = true
*[r] = 255
*[g] = 0
*[b] = 0
or copy and paste the following code:
$hex = "FFFFFF"; // Color White
$color = convert_color($hex);
var_dump($color);
*/
?>
As you can see, the function "convert_color" accepts a hex # in most acceptable formats and returns an associative array. [success] is set to TRUE if the function succeeds and FALSE if not. The array members [r], [g] and [b] hold the red,green and blue values respectively. If it fails, [error] holds a custom error message.
"strip_chars" is a support function written to remove the unwanted characters from the hex string, and sends the concatenated string back to the calling function. It will accept either a single value or an array of values for the characters to remove.

This tiny function will return foreground colors (either black or white) in contrast to the color you provide:
<?php
function getContrastColor($color)
{
return (hexdec($color) > 0xffffff/2) ? '000000' : 'ffffff';
}
?>
This function will return the opposite (negative):
<?php
function negativeColor($color)
{
//get red, green and blue
$r = substr($color, 0, 2);
$g = substr($color, 2, 2);
$b = substr($color, 4, 2);
//revert them, they are decimal now
$r = 0xff-hexdec($r);
$g = 0xff-hexdec($g);
$b = 0xff-hexdec($b);
//now convert them to hex and return.
return dechex($r).dechex($g).dechex($b);
}
?>

A handy little function to convert HEX colour codes to "web safe" colours...
<?php
function color_mkwebsafe ( $in )
{
// put values into an easy-to-use array
$vals['r'] = hexdec( substr($in, 0, 2) );
$vals['g'] = hexdec( substr($in, 2, 2) );
$vals['b'] = hexdec( substr($in, 4, 2) );
// loop through
foreach( $vals as $val )
{
// convert value
$val = ( round($val/51) * 51 );
// convert to HEX
$out .= str_pad(dechex($val), 2, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT);
}
return $out;
}
?>
Example: color_mkwebsafe('0e5c94');
Produces: 006699
Hope this helps someone out... Happy coding. :-)

It's just a revision to marfastic's ligten_up script, it simply adds/subtracts mod_color to orig_color.
I use it often to adjust tonals rather than brightness only
<?

/*

// does quick validation

preg_match("/([0-9]|[A-F]){6}/i",$mod_color,$mod_arr);
if ($orig_arr[0] && $mod_arr[0]) {
for ($i=0; $i<6; $i=$i+2) {
$orig_x = substr($orig_arr[0],$i,2);
$mod_x = substr($mod_arr[0],$i,2);

Here My version of converting a hex string to a signed decimal value:
<?php
function hexdecs($hex)
{
// ignore non hex characters
$hex = preg_replace('/[^0-9A-Fa-f]/', '', $hex);
// converted decimal value:
$dec = hexdec($hex);
// maximum decimal value based on length of hex + 1:
// number of bits in hex number is 8 bits for each 2 hex -> max = 2^n
// use 'pow(2,n)' since '1 << n' is only for integers and therefore limited to integer size.
$max = pow(2, 4 * (strlen($hex) + (strlen($hex) % 2)));
// complement = maximum - converted hex:
$_dec = $max - $dec;
// if dec value is larger than its complement we have a negative value (first bit is set)
return $dec > $_dec ? -$_dec : $dec;
}
?>

If you want to create or parse signed Hex strings:
<?php
// $d should be an int
function sdechex($d) { return ($d<0) ? ('-' . dechex(-$d)) : dechex($d); }
// $h should be a string
function shexdec($h) { return ($h[0] === '-') ? -('0x' . substr($h,1) + 0) : ('0x' . $h + 0); }
// test
$h = sdechex(-123); // string(3) "-7b"
$d = shexdec($h); // int(-123)
var_dump($h, $d);
?>
Also note that ('0x' . $hexstr + 0) is faster than hexdec()
(Tested on PHP v5.2.17)

I wondered long time what is the best way to generate RGB-color from HEX-color, and just now i found the simpliest way!
<?php
$hex = "FF00FF";
$rgb = hexdec($hex); // 16711935
?>
I hope this will save your time! :)

I made these functions to pack up to 64 ID's into a mysql unsigned bigint.
ID's cannot repeat, must be <= bit's limit and > 0.
The functions uses php 32 bit's int as unsigned because we don't actually read the number, just the bits. Then 0xFFFFFFFF display -1 but the bit's are there (tested with linux 2.6 i686 and x86_64)

if(empty($hex))

}
if(!preg_match('/^[0-9A-F]*$/i', $hex))
{
trigger_error('Argument is not a hex', E_USER_WARNING);
return false;
}
// Conversion
$bin = '';
$hex = array_reverse(str_split($hex));
foreach($hex as $n)
{
$n = hexdec($n);
for($i = 1; $i <= 8; $i <<= 1)
{
$bin .= ($i & $n)? '1' : '0';
}
if($padding)

}
}
return ltrim(strrev($bin));
}
// Tests

One of my favourite, multi-purpose, bidirectional solution I wrote many years ago:
function bgr2rgb($cr) { // bidirectional
return (($cr & 0x0000FF) << 16 | ($cr & 0x00FF00) | ($cr & 0xFF0000) >> 16);
}
Which you might want to use as :
function hex2cr($hex) { // strips any leading characters, like #
return bgr2rgb(hexdec($hex));
}
function cr2hex($cr) { // the usual HTML format, #rrggbb
return '#'.str_pad(strtoupper(dechex(bgr2rgb($cr))), 6, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT);
}
And, if like me you tend to mistype function names, the synonym :
function rgb2bgr($val) { return bgr2rgb($val); }

Bullet-proof hex-to-rgb colour converter like brian at sagesport dot com wanted, just far fewer code lines. As a bonus, gives you the ability to return as string or array:
<?php
function &hex2rgb($hex, $asString = true)
{
// strip off any leading #
if (0 === strpos($hex, '#')) {
$hex = substr($hex, 1);
} else if (0 === strpos($hex, '&H')) {
$hex = substr($hex, 2);
}
// break into hex 3-tuple
$cutpoint = ceil(strlen($hex) / 2)-1;
$rgb = explode(':', wordwrap($hex, $cutpoint, ':', $cutpoint), 3);
// convert each tuple to decimal
$rgb[0] = (isset($rgb[0]) ? hexdec($rgb[0]) : 0);
$rgb[1] = (isset($rgb[1]) ? hexdec($rgb[1]) : 0);
$rgb[2] = (isset($rgb[2]) ? hexdec($rgb[2]) : 0);
return ($asString ? "{$rgb[0]} {$rgb[1]} {$rgb[2]}" : $rgb);
}
?>
Handles 2, 3, and 6 character colour codes with leading # or &H.

I made this for a little phpbb mod. It was used to take the hex value from the database and make a color 20 (in decimal) less, resulting a darker color.
EXAMPLE: #336699 to #1f5285
<?php
$row1 = "336699"; // color
$c = 20; // difference value
$rgb = array(substr($row1,0,2), substr($row1,2,2), substr($row1,4,2));
for($i=0; $i < 3; $i++)
{
if((hexdec($rgb[$i])-$c) >= 0)
{
$rgb[$i] = hexdec($rgb[$i])-$c;
$rgb[$i] = dechex($rgb[$i]);
if(hexdec($rgb[0]) <= 9)
$rgb[$i] = "0".$rgb[$i];
} else {
$rgb[$i] = "00";
}
}
$row2 = $rgb[0].$rgb[1].$rgb[2];
?>

Help a hex-stricken string get back to normal:
<?php
$str = preg_replace_callback ("/%([a-zA-Z0-9]{2})/", create_function ('$matches', 'return chr (hexdec ($matches[1]));'), $str);
?>

hexdec from 4.1.0 onwards does not show
the same size limitation and therefore
works differently with large numbers than previous php versions.
To obtain the same results, use:
(int) hexdec (...)

In reply to Amit Yadav's post (hex to binary conversion):
function binfromdec($num)
{
$primary = "bit";
for ($i=1; $i<=16; $i++)
${$primary.$i} = 0;
if ($num & 32768) $bit16 = 1;
if ($num & 16384) $bit15 = 1;
if ($num & 8192) $bit14 = 1;
if ($num & 4096) $bit13 = 1;
if ($num & 2048) $bit12 = 1;
if ($num & 1024) $bit11 = 1;
if ($num & 512) $bit10 = 1;

Function that combines two rgb colors.
function combineColors($color1, $color2) {
$color1 = str_replace("#", '', $color1);
$color2 = str_replace("#", '', $color2);
$r1 = hexdec(substr($color1, 0, 2));
$g1 = hexdec(substr($color1, 2, 2));
$b1 = hexdec(substr($color1, 4, 2));
$r2 = hexdec(substr($color2, 0, 2));
$g2 = hexdec(substr($color2, 2, 2));
$b2 = hexdec(substr($color2, 4, 2));
$r3 = ceil(($r1 + $r2) / 2);
$g3 = ceil(($g1 + $g2) / 2);
$b3 = ceil(($b1 + $b2) / 2);
$color = rgbhex($r3, $g3, $b3);

Here's another hex2bin variant, works pretty well to me.
function hex2bin($hexdata) {
for ($i=0;$i<strlen($hexdata);$i+=2) {
$bindata.=chr(hexdec(substr($hexdata,$i,2)));
}
return $bindata;
}
