note 80263 added to ref.strings

This took me quite some time to figure out and it is so obvious. So, I hope it helps someone out there like it would have helped me if I would have found it on this page: I wanted to read a binary file and write it out with some modified bytes with their hex values. The easiest way I could come up with was the following: read the file line by line, e.g. 400 bytes and then chuck it into an array with e.g. <?php $handle = @fopen("/path/to/file.bin", "r"); if ($handle) { while (!feof($handle)) { $buffer[] = fgets($handle, 400); } fclose($handle); $buffer[0][0] = chr(hexdec("FF")); // set the first byte to 0xFF } // write out the file from the array ... ?> One could write a function for that, so that One can write a string of bytes. Don't have time for this now but you should get the idea. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 219.88.93.2 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.strings.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/80263 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80263/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80263/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80263/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80263/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80263/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80263/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80263 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/80263 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
