Several people here have commented on
the termination of strings in PHP with the NULL character.
My tests have shown that
PHP3 does NOT terminate strings
PHP4 DOES terminate with a NULL
character.
And one of the previous posters seemed to indicate that zero couldn't be a part of a string if
it were NULL terminated. It can. A zero is ASCII 48
and a NULL character is ASCII 0.
cheers
