trying to understand PHP unpack();

["Sonia" <fataqui@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

In Perl I have a part of a script....

# cut..

my $line = '!v2005*08|05+09?04^19*!';

my ( $s_code, $year, $month, $day, $hour, $minute, $second, $e_code ) =
unpack ( "x1 A1 A4 x1 A2 x1 A2 x1 A2 x1 A2 x1 A2 A1", $line );

print $s_code . "\n";
print $year . "\n";
print $month . "\n";
print $day . "\n";
print $hour . "\n";
print $minute . "\n";
print $second . "\n";
print $e_code . "\n";

sleep 10; # so we can see it in the command window



In Perl this runs without trouble, in PHP it does not seem to work the same
way. Can someone explain to me what I need to do differently to
allow PHP to understand what I am trying to do!

<?

my $line = '!v2005*08|05+09?04^19*!';

$output = unpack ( "x1 A1 A4 x1 A2 x1 A2 x1 A2 x1 A2 x1 A2 A1", $line );

print_r ( $output );

?>


Thanks
