Note Submitter: deminy at deminy dot net ---- Although current documentation says 'A string literal can be specified in four different ways: ...', actually there is a fifth way to specify a (binary) string: <?php $binary = b'This is a binary string'; ?> The above statement declares a binary string using the 'b' prefix, which is available since PHP 5.2.1. However, it will only have effect as of PHP 6.0.0, as noted on http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.is-binary.php .
