I want to convert normal text to \x codes for e.g \x14\x65\x60
For example :
normal text = "base64_decode"
converted \x codes for above text = "\x62\141\x73\145\x36\64\x5f\144\x65\143\x6f\144\x65"
How to do this? Thanks in advance.

PHP 5.3 one-liner:
echo preg_replace_callback("/./", function($matched) {
return '\x'.dechex(ord($matched[0]));
}, 'base64_decode');
Outputs \x62\x61\x73\x65\x36\x34\x5f\x64\x65\x63\x6f\x64\x65
The ord()
function gives you the decimal value for a single byte. dechex()
converts it to hex. So to do this, loop through the every character in the string and apply both functions.
$str = 'base64_decode';
$length = strlen($str);
$result = '';
for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++) $result .= '\\x'.str_pad(dechex(ord($str[$i])),2,'0',STR_PAD_LEFT);
print($result);
Here's working code:
function make_hexcodes($text) {
$retval = '';
for($i = 0; $i < strlen($text); ++$i) {
$retval .= '\x'.dechex(ord($text[$i]));
}
return $retval;
}
echo make_hexcodes('base64_decode');
See it in action.
