112 - > 01110000
Test 2nd and 3rd position

<?php
// Function to test if bits at two specified positions are equal
function test_bit_position($num, $pos1, $pos2) {
// Adjust positions to start from 0 (as arrays in PHP are 0-indexed)
$pos1--;
$pos2--;
// Convert the decimal number to a binary string and reverse it
$bin_num = strrev(decbin($num));
// Check if the bits at the specified positions are equal
if ($bin_num[$pos1] == $bin_num[$pos2]) {
return "true";
} else {
return "false";
}
}
// Test case
echo test_bit_position(112, 5, 6) . "\n";
