strtol() can be used to convert from string to binary, ANSCI C again.
For the case of vice versa, how are you going to store binary data types? C does not offer separate data type for this, so an ntegral type would be fine to store binary data, and to convert it into string, you can use sprintf().
Vishnu, itoa() is not ANSI C standard. It's only a function supported by many compilers.

pg_unescape_bytea
PG_UNESCAPE_BYTEA(3) PG_UNESCAPE_BYTEA(3)
pg_unescape_bytea - Unescape binary for bytea type
SYNOPSIS
string pg_unescape_bytea (string $data)
DESCRIPTION
pg_unescape_bytea(3) unescapes PostgreSQL bytea data values. It returns the unescaped string, possibly containing binary data.
Note
When you SELECT a bytea type, PostgreSQL returns octal byte values prefixed with '' (e.g. 32). Users are supposed to convert
back to binary format manually.
This function requires PostgreSQL 7.2 or later. With PostgreSQL 7.2.0 and 7.2.1, bytea values must be cast when you enable multi-
byte support. i.e. INSERT INTO test_table (image) VALUES ('$image_escaped'::bytea); PostgreSQL 7.2.2 or later does not need a cast.
The exception is when the client and backend character encoding does not match, and there may be multi-byte stream error. User must
then cast to bytea to avoid this error.
PARAMETERS
o $data
- A string containing PostgreSQL bytea data to be converted into a PHP binary string.
RETURN VALUES
A string containing the unescaped data.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
pg_unescape_bytea(3) example
<?php
// Connect to the database
$dbconn = pg_connect('dbname=foo');
// Get the bytea data
$res = pg_query("SELECT data FROM gallery WHERE name='Pine trees'");
$raw = pg_fetch_result($res, 'data');
// Convert to binary and send to the browser
header('Content-type: image/jpeg');
echo pg_unescape_bytea($raw);
?>
