sha1

Hi,

I have a string with hexvalues that I use with sha1()

echo sha1("\x23\x9A\xB9\xCB\x28\x2D\xAF\x66\x23\x1D\xC5\xA4\xDF\x6B\xFB\xAE\x00\x00\x00\x01");

ab94fcedf2664edfb9b291f85d7f77f27f2f4a9d

now I have another string with the same value only not hex.

$string2=strtoupper("239ab9cb282daf66231dc5a4df6bfbae00000001");

I want to convert this string so that it is read as above and that the sha1-value is the same as above.

echo sha1(do_something($string2));

ab94fcedf2664edfb9b291f85d7f77f27f2f4a9d

Does anybody know how to convert a string to real hexvalues?

I've tried with pack, sprinft, hexdec, but nothing worked (couldn't find typecasting in hex)

Thanks
