Doc #61578 [NEW]: bin2hex() definition is ambiguous

From: Operating system: any PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:bin2hex() definition is ambiguous Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.bin2hex#refsect1-function.bin2hex-description --- "Returns an ASCII string containing the hexadecimal representation of str. The conversion is done byte-wise with the high-nibble first. " ambiguous. Which you mean? '01101000' => '68' first nibble, 6, is higher order, 0110 or '0110' => '30313130' first nibble, 3, is higher order in char '0' = 30 In both cases the input string is 'binary'. Given that '123ABC' is considered headecimal, doesn't it follow that '01101000' is binary? Including a few unambiguous examples would solve the problem. Like: bin2hex('or') => '6f72' -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61578&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61578&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61578&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61578&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61578&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61578&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61578&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61578&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61578&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61578&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61578&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61578&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61578&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61578&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61578&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61578&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61578&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61578&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61578&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61578&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61578&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61578&r=mysqlcfg
