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.

Syntax

decoct($number);

• number: The decimal to convert.

Example

This example uses the decoct() function to convert a decimal to its octal value:

<?php
  echo decoct("30");
?>

The above example will result in the following output:

36

Codebyte Example

The following Codebyte example can be run and calls the decoct() method two times. The first call uses the maximum value that can be converted for a 32-bit platform.
