PHP | IntlChar::forDigit() Function

Last Updated : 27 Aug, 2019

The IntlChar::forDigit() function is an inbuilt function in PHP which is used to determines the character representation for a specific digit in the specified radix.

Syntax:

int IntlChar::forDigit( $digit, $radix )

Parameters: This function accepts two parameters as mentioned above and described below:

$digit: It is a required parameter. It is a number to convert to a character.
$radix: It is optional parameter. Its default value is 10.

Return Value: It returns the character representation of specified digit in the specified radix.

Note: Valid and invalid function argument:

If both $radix or $digit is not valid then return NULL.
The radix argument is valid if its value lies between $radix >= 2 and $radix <= 36.
The digit is valid if its value is 0 <= digit < radix.
In Digit Case: digit < 10, then sum of '0' + digit is returned, otherwise 'a' + digit -10 is returned.

Below programs illustrate the IntlChar::forDigit() function in PHP:

Program 1:

<?php 
// PHP function to illustrate  
// the use of IntlChar::forDigit() 
    
// Input int codepoint value  
var_dump(IntlChar::forDigit(0)); 
    
// Input int codepoint value  
var_dump(IntlChar::forDigit(1)); 
    
//Input int codepoint value  
var_dump(IntlChar::forDigit(10)); 
    
// Input int codepoint value  
var_dump(IntlChar::forDigit(10, 2018)); 
    
// Input float codepoint value  
var_dump(IntlChar::forDigit(20999.1811)); 
  
?> 

Output:

int(48)
int(49)
int(0)
int(0)
int(0)

Program 2:

<?php 
// PHP function to illustrate the 
// use of IntlChar::forDigit() 
    
// Declare an array with 
// different codepoint value  
$arr = array("7", 
            (50),  
            "8", 
            "0", 
      
        ); 
      
// For loop condition to check  
// each character through function 
foreach ($arr as $val) { 
          
    // Check each element as code point data 
    var_dump(IntlChar::forDigit($val)); 
} 
?> 

Output:

int(55)
int(0)
int(56)
int(48)

Program 3: Below is the function implementation if pass the parameter symbol or character, then it gives an error.

<?php 
// PHP function to illustrate  
// the use of IntlChar::forDigit() 
    
//Input char codepoint value  
var_dump(IntlChar::forDigit("Geeks")); 
    
//Input char codepoint value  
var_dump(IntlChar::forDigit("X")); 
    
//Input control codepoint value  
var_dump(IntlChar::forDigit("\n")); 
    
//Input symbolic  codepoint value  
var_dump(IntlChar::forDigit("@")); 
    
?>
