echo binary

[Lisa Pearlson]

how can I echo the decimal number 0 instead of the ascii "0" ?
passthru can do it in response to a shell function. Is there another way?
does echo pack("C", 0) do it?

Re: echo binary

what is the idea of that? since whenever you echo something you echo a
character ot srting in common. Do you mean to make it as a return value
of execution of the script?

Re: echo binary

do you mean zero as in a true false condition?

Re: echo binary

hmm, weird, echo(00) echoes '0';

Many shell scripts written in php also exit like this:

exit(0);

But that also prints the ascii character '0';
weird.

I think echo pack('C', 0) should work..
