How to convert weekdays to binary representation and vise versa using PHP

Question

I am looking for PHP class that could convert any combination of weekdays to binary and vise versa

0 (for Sunday) through 6 (for Saturday)

Example:

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday => 0111110 (where sunday and saturday is off day)

0101010 => this binary represents Monday, Wednesday , Friday is ON other are OFF days

The class should be able to convert the binary to weekdays and weekdays to binary

The class could have two methods:

public function convertWeekdaysToBinary($days)
- This one will convert the coming days (array) to binary (string)

public function convertBinaryToWeekdays($binary)
- This one will convert the coming binary (string) to days (array)

This is for first:

$arr = array('Sunday', 'Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday', 'Saturday');

$search1 = "Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday";
$search_arr = explode(", ", $search1);
$out1 = array("0","0","0","0","0","0","0");
foreach($search_arr as $value){
    $sr = array_search($value, $arr);
    $out1[$sr] = "1";
}
echo implode("", $out1); //0111110

Vice-versa

$search2 = "0101010";
$search_arr = str_split($search2);
$out2 = array();
foreach($search_arr as $key => $value){
    if($value == 1){
        $out2[] = $arr[$key];
    }
}
echo implode(", ", $out2);//Monday, Wednesday, Friday
