PHP provides us with a built-in function, decbin() for this purpose.The decbin() function in PHP is used to return a string containing a binary representation of the given decimal number argument.
decbin stands for decimal to binary.

Syntax:

Parameters: This function accepts a single parameter value. It is the decimal number which you want to convert in binary representation.
