someone asked about checksum values in another thread, I believe

so now I have the broadbrush question of what would one use
pack/unpack for? can anyone point at some realworld examples/code that
might help me broaden my horizons?
Reading a "binary" file with various bytes/bits that need to get
converted to integers for you to do something useful with them.
ok. that's where my brain goes to mush - all strings in php (for now)
are binary ... what's the difference between the binary strings
in php and such found in these 'binary files' that they need to be
packed/unpacked?
sorry if I'm sounding retarded ... I probably am :-/
Ditty for writing said file.
