BinaryClone( <binary-array> )
Contents |
Description
Clone a binary variable 100% and return a new binary variable with exactly same data as the old one.
Parameters
binary-array
The binary variable to use.
Return Value
Success: Returns cloned binary array.
Failure: Returns null.
Remarks
Contrary to what you might think simply doing
$binary2 = $binary1
That does not *copy* the data it will simply creates a reference to it making a change at either variable will change both so if you wish to actually copy a binary variables data you will need to use BinaryClone or BinaryMid etc.
Example
$binary = Pack("A*", "Hello World!"); $binary2 = BinaryClone($binary); BinaryReverse($binary); println("b1: " . Unpack("A*", $binary, 3)); println("b2: " . Unpack("A*", $binary2, 3));
Alternative way using Clone()
$a = BinaryCreate(3); $a[0] = 'C'; $a[1] = 'A'; $a[2] = 'T'; $b = Clone($a); $b[0] = 'J'; echo "First '$a' Second '$b'\n"; # Prints # First 'CAT' Second 'JAT'
