In PHP, you can get the ascii code of any character using a built-in function "ord". There is also a function to convert the ascii code into a character named "chr".

They are very simple to use and can be helpful in certain cirumsyances.

Examples:

Code: Select all

$a = "A";
print ord($a); // prints 65 (ASCII code of 'A'

$a = 65;
print chr($a); // prints 'A'
