How to calculate CRC-CCITT (XModem) in PHP for HEX input data?

Question

Below code is from crc32 function reference in PHP website for CRC16-CCITT calculation. This works for ASCII input data. How can I make it work for HEX input data? What do I need to change? Thank you for your help.

    // CRC16-CCITT validator
$crc_table = array(
    0x0,  0x1021,  0x2042,  0x3063,  0x4084,  0x50a5,  0x60c6,  0x70e7,

    $test = chr(0xC6).chr(0xCE).chr(0xA2).chr(0x03); // CRC16-CCITT = 0xE2B4
    genCRC ($test);
      
function genCRC (&$ptr)
{
    $crc = 0x0000;
    $crc_table = $GLOBALS['crc_table'];
    for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($ptr); $i++)
        $crc =  $crc_table[(($crc>>8) ^ ord($ptr[$i]))] ^ (($crc<<8) & 0x00FFFF);
    return $crc;
}

For eg. If I provide

$test = "7f0100"; //ASCII

The function gives DE2E. Expected result is C708 treating 7f0100 as HEX input.

You would need to first convert the hexadecimal string into a string of bytes with hexdec and chr on each pair of hexadecimal digits, and concatenating those into a string.

For your example, you can provide the string of three bytes directly as "\x7f\x01\x00".

Hi @Mark thank you for helping me. I defined a function function strtohex($string){$string = str_split($string, 2); return "\x".implode('\x',$string);}. For 7f0100 this function returns \x7f\x01\x00. When I directly call genCRC("\x7f\x01\x00"); it gives me C708 but when I call genCRC (strtohex("7f0100")) it gives me CAF6. Am I missing something? – bhu1st Aug 14 '21 at 05:40
I found why it's happening, re: comment here. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39475279/cant-concatenate-x-codes-x-php#comment66270381_39475279. – bhu1st Aug 14 '21 at 06:09
Your "strtohex" does no such thing. It simply inserts backslashes and x's into the string. So you turn six characters into 12 characters, instead of into three bytes. Do what I said. Use `hexdec` and `chr`. – Mark Adler Aug 14 '21 at 06:49

As @Mark Adler suggested here's the function to convert hex data to bytes string:

function hexToStr($hex){
    $string='';
    for ($i=0; $i < strlen($hex)-1; $i+=2){
        $string .= chr(hexdec($hex[$i].$hex[$i+1]));
    }
    return $string;
}
