Just a follow-up to myself... I decided to try packet sniffing to see what was going on and ettercap confirms that I'm sending out strings rather than data of the type stored in my array: 16:12:26 192.168.0.101:32779 --> 192.168.0.88:32896 | UDP | 0000: 3331 31 That "31" should be an integer of only one byte, not two. The function that's doing the sending looks like this: function send_back($sock, $msg, $ip, $port) { $fp = fsockopen("udp://$ip", $port, $errno, $errstr); foreach ($msg as $msg_to_send) { fwrite($fp, $msg_to_send); echo date("H:i:s")." SENT '$msg_to_send'\n"; //seen server side } fclose($fp); } Can anyone see where I might be going wrong? Why am I not sending the integers as integers and the binary bits as binary bits?
