The same explanation re character sets applies here as I have just submitted to the page for ord() [http://php.net/ord] That is to say, this function is not interpreting the input relative to any particular encoding; it is simply setting a byte in memory to the integer value given (mod 256 to fit in one byte, as others have pointed out) and returning that as a PHP string variable. Thus ord(chr(200)) will always return 200, but that has no bearing on what character (or piece of binary data) chr(200) might be later interpreted to represent. ---- Server IP: 94.76.225.145 Probable Submitter: 62.189.198.114 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.chr.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/112397 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112397/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112397/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112397/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112397/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112397/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112397/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112397 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/112397 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
