note 93714 added to function.unpack

Functions I found useful when dealing with fixed width file processing, related to unpack/pack functions. <?php /** * funpack * format: array of key, length pairs * data: string to unpack */ function funpack($format, $data){ foreach ($format as $key => $len) { $result[$key] = trim(substr($data, $pos, $len)); $pos+= $len; } return $result; } /** * fpack * format: array of key, length pairs * data: array of key, value pairs to pack * pad: padding direction */ function fpack($format, $data, $pad = STR_PAD_RIGHT){ foreach ($format as $key => $len){ $result .= substr(str_pad($data[$key], $len, $pad), 0, $len); } return $result; } ?> ---- Server IP: 202.89.58.1 Probable Submitter: 203.97.178.3 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.unpack.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/93714 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93714/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93714/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93714/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93714/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93714/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93714/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93714 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/93714 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
