No matter what you do, a PHP integer is going to be 32-bit.

So "artbitrary length" is not gonna happen...

Unless you use something like BC_MATH and specify your precision.

Also look into the user-contributed notes on the http://php.net/bindec
page, as many seem to be trying to do the same thing as you are.

http://php.net/base_convert also had pointers about using GMP which may
hold a solution.
