BinaryToStr( <binary-array>, <flag> )

Contents

Description

Returns a new string containing the binary data as raw bytes.

Parameters

binary-array

The binary variable to use.

flag

Optional; Encoding to use.

Choices are:

"ASCII" = Each byte will directly be converted to a single character and returned as a string

"UTF8" = Similar to ASCII but uses 2 bytes of one for each character of the string it will make

"UNICODE" = Alias to UTF8 (or whatever Sputnik is using for Unicode strings)

Default: "ASCII"

Return Value

Returns a new string containing the binary data as raw bytes.

Remarks

Sputnik strings allow null terminators inside them so they can be used just like raw binary data this is useful since you can treat it as a string and use all the string functions but yet it's also binary.

Example

ASCII Example 

$binary = Pack("A*", "Hello World!");
$binStr = BinaryToStr($binary);
echo "String Content: $binStr\n";
// Prints:
// String Content: Hello World!
