Note Submitter: chris[underscore]lewis[AT]bellsouth.net ---- Can someone explain the seemingly useless conversion example provided above by the manual? First of all, the code DOES do arithmetic on the raw string (ex 2M), even though the manual suggests that won't work. As you can see, the unit delimiter is never removed from the input string on the example return_bytes() function. On top of that, each case in the switch does the same math - so the swtich is, well, pointless. It seems that PHP's math system handles the unit notation - what's going on here?
