#40088 [Opn->Bgs]: 'binary-safe' explanation needed in documentation

ID: 40088 Updated by: betz@php.net Reported By: stepheneliotdewey at gmail dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: irrelevant PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: Hi, the PHP-Manual is not the place to explain fundamental concepts. You can, for example, search the web to get the answer what binary-safe means. There is nothing php-specific about binary-safe. That said, don't expect the PHP-Manual to be the place to get explanations what common terms mean ;-) Friedhelm Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-01-10 13:08:56] stepheneliotdewey at gmail dot com Description: ------------ It would be good to include a description of what "binary-safe" means in PHP in the documentation along with some examples of differences between how functions would perform if they were and if they were not binary-safe. This would be helpful to users like myself who are not experienced with those concepts. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40088&edit=1
