Binary calculations are done with the binary (or bitwise) operators & | ^
and ~, >> and <<.

Examples:

echo (1 & 2); // Prints 0, since 0001 AND 0010 equals 0000
echo (1 | 2); // Prints 3, since 0001 OR 0010 equals 0011
echo ~(6 ^ 9) // prints 16, since NOT(0110 XOR 1001) equals !0000 equals
1111...

Etc... I just pulled the binary numbers from my hat, and my boolean math is
rusty, so errors may occur, but you get the point... And I assume this was
what you were looking for. See the manual on bitwise operators for more.
