Hi All,
I have the following question. I have been developing with C for a
while and I was used that the \0 indicated the end of a string. So if
I had a variable containing 1234\056789 and the variable was printed,
only 1234 was printed.
As I can see in PHP (version 4.0.6 ), when I echo such a variable
also the characters are printed, even the characters after \0. Is this
the case PHP should work or is it a bug ? Isn't \0 really a string
termination character in PHP ?
I have been searching for documentation on this matter so if anyone
could help me...
Kind Regards,
Marco Laponder
