unpack on offsets in binary data in variable?

Hi,

I'm searching for an efficient way to use unpack on binary data within a
variable (php 5.1.something). In the past I was doing

fopen
fseek
unpack( fread(...)
fseek
etc.

Now this time I need to do the same, but I don't have an actual file: my
data is only in a variable and I don't want to operate on a file but the
variable within.

I was thinking about using substr() and passing the small chunks of data
I need to the unpack() function.

Question: does this work without problems on arbitrary binary, maybe
containing zero-byte values reliable?

thanks,
- Markus
