hex color to rgb values?

I'm making a hit counter service, I want users to be able input hex colors, but then convert that to rgb values when the script is run.

How would i do that?

 

Google is lovely.

I made this function for my scripts. You can use it

<?php

$color = '#FF00CC';
$new_color = getRGBCode($color);
print_r($new_color);

    function getRGBCode($s) {
        $rgbArr = array();
        $s = str_replace('#','',$s);
        if (6 == strlen($s)) {
            $rgbArr[] = hexdec(substr($s, 0, 2));
            $rgbArr[] = hexdec(substr($s, 2, 2));
            $rgbArr[] = hexdec(substr($s, 4, 2));
        }
        return $rgbArr;
    }
?>

PHP:

 

$int = hexdec(str_replace('#', '', $hex));
$r = $int >> 16 & 255;
$g = $int >> 8 & 255
$b = $int & 255;
