From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Operating system: All PHP version: 4.0.6 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Reading and Writing files Hi, There is no fonction in PHP to read or write an integer or a long value from a file. Actually, I read a 2 or 4 characters string, and convert it into the corresponding numeric value with this function : function readNum( $f, $len ) { $tmp = strrev( fread( $f, $len ) ); $val = 0; for( $i=0; $i<$len; $i++ ) $val += ord(substr($tmp,$i,1)) * pow(256,$len-1-$i); return $val; } Regards, Fred. -- Edit bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=12332&edit=1 -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
