Please do not send inquiries to multiple mailing lists at once. What sort of binary format? That could mean just about anything. I believe that you know that PHP is a loosely-typed language. That means that if you try to do something like: print "456abc" + 22; then it will take the numeric portion of "456abc" (456) and add it to 22. Hence, the values are converted to strings or numbers based on the kind of operation requested. In this case addition. When sending binary data in an email, it is usually converted to a 7-bit format with something like base64 encoding. I think we could be more helpful with some specifics. James
