note 100518 added to function.pack

If you need to unpack a signed short from big-endian or little-endian specifically, instead of machine-byte-order, you need only unpack it as the unsigned form, and then if the result is >= 2^15, subtract 2^16 from it. And example would be: $foo = unpack("n", $signedbigendianshort); $foo = $foo[1]; if($foo >= pow(2, 15)) $foo -= pow(2, 16); ---- Server IP: 66.207.199.35 Probable Submitter: 70.66.136.15 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.pack.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/100518 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100518/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100518/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100518/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100518/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100518/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100518/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100518 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/100518 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
