chr

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

chr返回指定的字符

说明

chr ( int $ascii ) : string

返回相对应于 ascii 所指定的单个字符。

此函数与 ord() 是互补的。

参数

ascii

Ascii 码。

返回值

返回规定的字符。

范例

Example #1 chr() 例子

<?php
$str 
"The string ends in escape: ";
$str .= chr(27); /* 在 $str 后边增加换码符 */

/* 通常这样更有用 */

$str sprintf("The string ends in escape: %c"27);
?>

I was looking for a simple method to construct excel like column identifiers e.g: A B .... AA AB AC etc, using chr() and modulo, but there is magic...
https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.increment.php

So, this also works
<?php
$p
= chr(65);      // or simply $p = 'A';
for ($i = 1; $i < 53; $i++){
    echo
$p++ . " - ";
    if (
$i % 10 == 0) echo '</br>';
}
?>

Gives
A - B - C - D - E - F - G - H - I - J -
K - L - M - N - O - P - Q - R - S - T -
U - V - W - X - Y - Z - AA - AB - AC - AD -
AE - AF - AG - AH - AI - AJ - AK - AL - AM - AN -
AO - AP - AQ - AR - AS - AT - AU - AV - AW - AX -
AY - AZ -

I needed to generate an invalid UTF-8 character for testing with JSON.  This did the trick:

<?php
echo 'Bogus UTF-8 character at end' . chr(0xC6) ;

string mb_chr ( int $cp [, string $encoding ] )
Parameter List:
cp - character code (in decimal notation)
encoding - encoding (UTF-8, ASCII and so on)

We get the letter 'Ж'  from the encoding UTF-8:

$sim = mb_chr(0x0416, 'UTF-8');
echo $sim; // Ж

Get the character '}' from the encoding ASCII:

$sim = mb_chr(125, 'ASCII');
echo $sim ; // }

Another quick function to get unicode char by its code.

  else if (

It seems that php uses the table from here: http://ascii-code.com/
(and not from here: http://www.asciitable.com/ as suggested in the documentation) for codes from 128 to 255.

<?php
for ($i = 32; $i <= 255; $i++) {
    echo
chr($i);
}
?>

argument is automatically converted to integer, so chr('65') and chr(65) would both output the letter A

Simple password generation function using sprintf and the %c type specifier; which is the same as chr().

function genPass($len = 8) {
    for ($i=0;$i<=$len;$i++) {
        $passwd = sprintf('%s%c', isset($passwd) ? $passwd : NULL, rand(48, 122));
    }
    return $passwd;
}

to remove the ASCII control characters (except "line feed" and "tab") :

$tab_chr = array() ;
for($control = 0; $control < 32; $control++) {
    if ($control != 9 && $control != 10) {
        $tab_chr[]= chr($control) ;
    }
}
$tab_chr[]= chr(127) ;   
$string = str_replace($tab_chr, '', $string);

Here is a sample of encoding and decoding using "chr" and "ord".
<?php
   
function Encode($txtData,$Level){
        for (
$j = 0;$j<$Level;$j++){
           
$tmpStr = '';
            for (
$i = 0;$i<strlen($txtData);$i++)
               
$tmpStr .= ord(substr(strtoupper($txtData), $i, 1));
           
$txtData = $tmpStr;
        }
        return (
strlen($Level)).$Level.$txtData;
    }

    function
Decode($txtData){
       
$intLevel = substr($txtData, 1, substr($txtData, 0, 1));
       
$startStr = substr($txtData, substr($txtData, 0, 1)+1, strlen($txtData));
        for (
$j = 0;$j<$intLevel;$j++){
            for (
$i = 0;$i<strlen($startStr);$i+=2)
               
$tmpStr .= chr(intval(substr($startStr, $i, 2)));
           
$startStr = $tmpStr;
       
           
$tmpStr = "";

$startStr;
    }

echo
Decode(Encode('123',5));

The function chr() also accepts negative numbers as an ascii code, so chr(-number) is equal to chr((number%256)+256).
And for ascii code higher than 255 is chr(number%256)

We can test with a little script
<?php
   
for($i=-300; $i<300; $i++){
        echo
"Ascii $i\t" . ord(chr($i)) . "\n";
    }
?>

In addition to replacing Microsoft Windows smart quotes, as sgaston demonstrated on 2006-02-13, I replace all other Microsoft Windows characters using suggestions[1] published by character code specialist[2] Jukka Korpela.

<?php
$str
= str_replace(chr(130), ',', $str);    // baseline single quote
$str = str_replace(chr(131), 'NLG', $str);  // florin
$str = str_replace(chr(132), '"', $str);    // baseline double quote
$str = str_replace(chr(133), '...', $str);  // ellipsis
$str = str_replace(chr(134), '**', $str);   // dagger (a second footnote)
$str = str_replace(chr(135), '***', $str);  // double dagger (a third footnote)
$str = str_replace(chr(136), '^', $str);    // circumflex accent
$str = str_replace(chr(137), 'o/oo', $str); // permile
$str = str_replace(chr(138), 'Sh', $str);   // S Hacek
$str = str_replace(chr(139), '<', $str);    // left single guillemet
$str = str_replace(chr(140), 'OE', $str);   // OE ligature
$str = str_replace(chr(145), "'", $str);    // left single quote
$str = str_replace(chr(146), "'", $str);    // right single quote
$str = str_replace(chr(147), '"', $str);    // left double quote
$str = str_replace(chr(148), '"', $str);    // right double quote
$str = str_replace(chr(149), '-', $str);    // bullet
$str = str_replace(chr(150), '-', $str);    // endash
$str = str_replace(chr(151), '--', $str);   // emdash
$str = str_replace(chr(152), '~', $str);    // tilde accent
$str = str_replace(chr(153), '(TM)', $str); // trademark ligature
$str = str_replace(chr(154), 'sh', $str);   // s Hacek
$str = str_replace(chr(155), '>', $str);    // right single guillemet

I spent hours looking for a function which would take a numeric HTML entity value and output the appropriate UTF-8 bytes.  I found this at another site and only had to modify it slightly; so I don't take credit for this.

<?php function unichr($dec) {
  if (
$dec < 128) {
   
$utf = chr($dec);
  } else if (
$dec < 2048) {
   
$utf = chr(192 + (($dec - ($dec % 64)) / 64));
   
$utf .= chr(128 + ($dec % 64));
  } else {
   
$utf = chr(224 + (($dec - ($dec % 4096)) / 4096));
   
$utf .= chr(128 + ((($dec % 4096) - ($dec % 64)) / 64));
   
$utf .= chr(128 + ($dec % 64));
  }
  return
$utf;
}
?>

So for example:

<?php

  $str
= "Chinese: &#20013;&#25991;";
 
$str = preg_replace("/&#(\d{2,5});/e", "unichr($1);", $str);

?>

When having to deal with parsing an IIS4 or IIS5 metabase dump I wrote a simple function for converting those MS hexidecimal values into their ascii counter parts. Hopefully someone will find use for it.

<?php
function hex_decode($string)  {
        for (
$i=0; $i < strlen($string); $i)  {
       
$decoded .= chr(hexdec(substr($string,$i,2)));
       
$i = (float)($i)+2;
        }
return
$decoded;
}
?>

Note that if the number is higher than 256, it will return the number mod 256.
For example :
chr(321)=A because A=65(256)
Kristin 06-Mar-2003 08:19
Note that chr(10) is a 'line feed' and chr(13) is a 'carriage return' and they are not the same thing! I found this out while attempting to parse text from forms and text files for inclusion as HTML by replacing all the carriage returns with <BR>'s only to find after many head-scratchings that I should have been looking for line feeds. If anyone can shed some light on what the difference is, please do.

If you're planning on saving text from a form into a database for later display, you'll need to apply the following function so that it gets saved with the proper HTML tags.

<?php
$text
= str_replace ( chr(10), "<BR>", $text );
?>

When you want to plug it back into that form for editing you need to convert it back.

<?php
$text
= str_replace ( "<BR>", chr(10), $text)
?>

Hope this saves somebody some trouble. :)

Here is a function that's help me find what chr(number) outputs what character quicker than typing out 256 echo tags.

<?php
 
function listChr(){
  for (
$i = 0; $i < 256; ++$i) {
  static
$genNum;
 
$genNum++;
  echo
"chr($genNum) will output '";
  echo (
chr($genNum));
  echo
"'< br>\n";
  }
}
listChr();
?>

Another helpful chr is #9, being a tab.  Quite using when making error logs.

 $tab = (chr(9));
 echo "<pre>error{$tab}date{$tab}time</pre>";

[Editor's note:

%c is defined as: "Print the character belonging to the ascii code given"

chr() just gives a string, so you need to use %s, even if the string consists of only one character. This is consistent with other languages.
--Jeroen@php.net]


Learn from my mistake:
Do not expect this to work!

<?php
$c_question
= chr(63);
$v_out = sprintf("<%cphp\n", $c_question);
//... more stuff being sprintf'd into v_out here ...
$v_out = sprintf("%s%c>\n", $v_out, $c_question);
$v_fp = fopen("foofile", "w");
if (
$v_fp)
{
    
fwrite($v_fp, $v_out, strlen($v_out));
    
fclose($v_fp);
}
?>

When I did this, foofile contained <NUL NUL NUL NUL NUL>.
I spun my wheels quite awhile looking at fputs, fwrite to verify I was calling those functions correctly.
My mistake was using $c_question = chr(63) instead of
$c_question = 63 (correct).  Then everything worked fine.
