Doc #64252 [NEW]: add to documentation

From: ray at gurganus dot org Operating system: Windows PHP version: 5.3.21 Package: Unknown/Other Function Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:add to documentation Description: ------------ The documentation on the pack() function could be a little clearer. I needed a function that would receive a hex string and output binary for creating an image. The first time I read the documentation page, I had no idea this is the answer I was looking for, and eventually found it in someone else's code. Here's the code I have that returns the output I needed. $GIF = "CCFFCC009900...." (etc) $output = pack("H".strlen($GIF),$GIF); -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64252&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64252&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64252&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64252&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64252&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64252&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64252&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64252&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64252&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64252&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64252&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64252&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64252&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64252&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64252&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64252&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64252&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64252&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64252&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64252&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64252&r=mysqlcfg
