note 36969 added to function.bin2hex

Ok, this is a better version than my previous poor example. Running this in shell creates a progress indicator. Very useful if used when parsing large log files for instance. #!/usr/bin/php4 -q <? // Displays a progress indicator function progress($line) { global $last_len; $del_char = pack("H" . 2, "7F"); $line_len = strlen($line); $del_chars=(isset($last_len)) ? $last_len : $line_len; $last_len = $line_len; return str_repeat($del_char, ($del_chars)).$line; } // demo code: for($i=0;$i<100;$i++) { sleep(1); echo progress("i is now: $i out of 100"); } ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.bin2hex.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+36969 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+36969&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+36969&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
