POPHP read binary UID value from MS sql as Hex
text
Body
copied!<p>I have a code that generates UID:</p> <pre><code> $time_low = str_pad(dechex(mt_rand(0, 65535)), 4, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT) . str_pad(dechex(mt_rand(0, 65535)), 4, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT); $time_mid = str_pad(dechex(mt_rand(0, 65535)), 4, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT); $time_high_and_version = mt_rand(0, 255); $time_high_and_version = $time_high_and_version & hexdec('0f'); $time_high_and_version = $time_high_and_version ^ hexdec('40'); // Sets the version number to 4 in the high byte $time_high_and_version = str_pad(dechex($time_high_and_version), 2, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT); $clock_seq_hi_and_reserved = mt_rand(0, 255); $clock_seq_hi_and_reserved = $clock_seq_hi_and_reserved & hexdec('3f'); $clock_seq_hi_and_reserved = $clock_seq_hi_and_reserved ^ hexdec('80'); // Sets the variant for this GUID type to '10x' $clock_seq_hi_and_reserved = str_pad(dechex($clock_seq_hi_and_reserved), 2, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT); $clock_seq_low = str_pad(dechex(mt_rand(0, 65535)), 4, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT); $node = str_pad(dechex(mt_rand(0, 65535)), 4, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT) . str_pad(dechex(mt_rand(0, 65535)), 4, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT) . str_pad(dechex(mt_rand(0, 65535)), 4, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT); $guid = $time_low . '-' . $time_mid . '-' . $time_high_and_version . $clock_seq_hi_and_reserved . '-' . $clock_seq_low . '-' . $node; </code></pre> <p>It generates a string like: <strong>011FFF33-CA4A-44E8-8CD5-7344D8E94344</strong>. When I read it from MS SQL 2008 database, I get binary string like: <strong>3ÿJÊèDŒÕsDØéCD</strong>. How can I read it as hex string instead of binary string? Thanks! </p>
