[timgerr]

if I have a number 255, is there a php function to output the binary string of 11111111?

Try the PHP online manual.

http://php.net/manual/en/function.bindec.php

If you found that function, scrolling down to the "See Also" section, it offers the inverse of the decbin() function: the bindec() function; amongst other useful things.
