Doing XOR

[MDeveloper]

Hi.
Is there a way to doing XOR in php that works for both words and numbers?

"Blah" XOR "20" => "coderesult"
or:
10 XOR "20" => "coderesult"

Thanks.

probably will have to convert the string using ord() on each character.

Otherwise, I suspect that PHP will use 0 for the string value when doing the XOR.

Thanks.
But I writed a function for doing the Xor,Is there a php function for do that?

Hmm... I think that my first response could be a little wrong.

From the PHP manual

If both the left- and right-hand parameters are strings, the bitwise operator will operate on the characters in this string.

Anyway, the XOR operator in PHP is ^
