Tech Tip: Using PHP to convert Decimal to Hexadecimal
PRODUCT: 4D | VERSION: 12 | PLATFORM: Mac & Win
Published On: August 1, 2011

Here is a quick method that can be used for converting Decimal values to Hexadecimal values using PHP EXECUTE and the dechex php command:

C_TEXT($0;$result)
C_LONGINT($1)
C_BOOLEAN($phpOK)
If
(Count parameters=1)
 $phpOK:=PHP Execute("";"dechex";$result;$1)
End if
$0:=$result


If the above code is saved as a project method named UTIL_php_DecToHex it could be used to convert an integer value to a hexadecimal value like so:

C_TEXT($hex)
$hex:=UTIL_php_DecToHex(64784)


In the above example $hex would be equal to "FD10".
