PHP decoct()

The decoct() function takes a given decimal number and returns a string version of the corresponding octal value. An octal value is from the base-8 numerical system, which only uses eight digits: zero through seven. For 32-bit platforms, 4294967295 is the largest number that can be computed. For 64-bit platforms, 9223372036854775807 is the largest number that can be computed.
