I've been trying to figure out a way to do this all day and I'm afraid I might need a bit of help. Basically I am trying to port over something from Java to PHP and I'm stuck on one particular piece of code: if ((ba[i + 0] == (byte)0xa7) && (ba[i + 1] == (byte)0x51)) { The code is looping through a byte array and checking if the current value matches "(byte)0xa7", etc. If there is a match, then it breaks and returns the value of i. There are quite a few more values than this in the conditional, but I figure this is enough to get the point across. My problem is I'm not exactly sure what the value of (byte)0xa7 is. I tried $buffer = file_get_contents('Dining_Room.rti'); $count = strlen($buffer); for ($x=0; $x < $count; $x++) { $char = substr($buffer, $x, 1); echo $char; if ($char == 0xa7 && $char == 0x51) { return $x; } } but it never matches.
