- 1). Decide how you will run your PHP code. If you have a PHP server, you can execute code using PHP files. Otherwise, use an online PHP interpreter. Enter the code in this tutorial into either a PHP file or the interpreter.
- 2). Begin your PHP program with the following statement:
<?php - 3). Declare a character string by writing the following line of code in a new line below the previous statement:
$character = 'a'; - 4). Convert the character string into its ASCII decimal value using the ord function. This function returns a new value that must be stored in a new variable. To store the returned value, you can create a new variable named $newCharacter and call the function like this:
$newCharacter = ord($character); - 5). Print the ASCII decimal value using the print function, like this:
print($newCharacter) - 6). Conclude your PHP program with the following statement. Your program is now ready to be tested on your server or interpreter.
?> - 7). Run the program. The output is the ASCII decimal value for the letter a, and it looks like this:
226
