And is somewhere written which functions depend on null termination? example 1: I know that this URL is not the correct one (RFC 1738), but if the 0x01 is encoded to \x01 why the 0x00 is not? $a = "http://xxx/test?a=aaa".chr(1).chr(2).chr(0)."bbb"; include($a); (it is requesting: http://xxx/test?a=aaa\x01\x02) example 2: $a = "1234 abc".chr(1).chr(0)."def"; $b = escapeshellcmd($a); echo $b; [$b is "1234 abc".chr(1)] Martin Straka
