Bug #12012 Updated: dec2bin and bin2dec

ID: 12012 Updated by: jeroen Reported By: yo@yo.com Old Status: Closed Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: Any PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: Hm, I now see that bindec('10101010001') is the syntax, and not a few bytes or something. That is not (yet?) implemented. I'm not sure this should be in PHP. PHP isn't meant to work with binary files. I think that usually there are better alternatives, for example if you're after saving a few bytes of diskspace, this isn't the way to go.
