Question

Supposing I have a hex color code in a string such as:

$color = '#fda80d';

How could I convert this into an actual hex value such that:

$color = 0xfda80d;

So that it is not a string but an actual hex value?

Answer 1

$color = '#fda80d';
$color = hexdec(substr($color, 1));

// Prove it
echo $color == 0xfda80d ? "yes" : "failed";
