Hi,

You question is a bit confusing. :-)
hex is nothing more than a 16-base notation.
ascii is definition to declare the first 128 values of a byte to characters
(or more depending on which one you pick).

So that are two different animals.

In PHP:

int -> ascii char : chr()
http://nl2.php.net/manual/en/function.chr.php

ascii -> int : ord()
http://nl2.php.net/manual/en/function.ord.php

Note that the int is 10-base, so you'll have to transform it into hex by
using dexhex() and hexdec() depending on the direction. :-)

Also, this may be of use:

Hope that helps you going.
