Re: How can I write/read encoded numbers into/from a file?

I tried the following and it didn't work: <? $i = base64_decode("\0\0\0A"); // I also tried

                               // $i = base64_decode("\0\0\0\0x41")
                               // and it didn't work either.

echo "***$i***\n"; ?> X-Powered-By: PHP/4.1.2 Content-type: text/html ****** It was supposed to output: ***65*** deseavers@mindspring.com wrote:

I'm just starting with PHP, and I've been browsing the whole manual to find how to solve the following problem: 1. An integer number is internally represented in 4 bytes. Say, for instance, number 65 is represented by 0x00000041, that is the string "\0\0\0\0x41", and not the string "65". 2. How can I write this representation into a file and then read back it from the file? Do you have any idea about this? Thank you, Sergio.
