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,
