convert a number from base 10 to base 8 in php

To convert a number from base 10 to base 8, we can use the base_convert function in PHP. This function takes three arguments: the number to convert, the base of the number to convert (in this case, 10), and the base to convert to (in this case, 8).

Here's an example of converting the decimal number 342 to octal (base 8):

main.php
$decimal_num = 342;
$octal_num = base_convert($decimal_num, 10, 8);

// Output: 526
echo $octal_num;
101 chars
6 lines

In this code, we first define the decimal number to convert ($decimal_num). We then use the base_convert function to convert this number to octal, storing the result in the $octal_num variable. Finally, we output the octal number using the echo statement.

The output of this code will be 526, which is the octal equivalent of the decimal number 342.
