Need a string algorithm.

[CoreyWhite]

I need to assign all characters the values 1-26, and add them up in
the string, each time multiplying the next characters value by
10^string placement. It should look something like this:

Lets try an example:

C 3
O 150
R 1,800
E 5,000
Y 250,000
----------------
256,953

The end result of the word Corey is the number 256,953.

Can anyone get this working in php? It is some new code I want to run
on my website http://www.ckoogle.com

$multiplier = 1;
$sum = 0;
for($i=0; $i<length($s); $i++) {
$c = substr($s, $i, 1);
$cv = strpos("ABCDEFG HIJKLMNOPQRSTUV WXY", $c);
$sum = $sum+$cv*$multi plier;
$multiplier *= 10;
}

N.B. This is untested code. The resulting numbers will not be unique;
consider the string "AN" (25) and "BE" (25).

// $my_word in [a-zA-Z] !!!
function codeMyWord($my_ word) {
$word_coded = 0;
for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($my_word ); $i++) {
$word_coded += (ord(strtoupper ($my_word{$i})) - 64) * pow(10, $i);
}
return number_format($ word_coded);
}
echo codeMyWord('Cor eyWhite'); //-- 7,100,556,953

have solved the Da Vinci code.
