Hi,
I have some code developed on a linux system with PHP 5.1.6, its using
the PEAR Net_DNS class to send dns updates, part of this requires
unpacking a binary string, an example is below.
This works on PHP 5.1.6 but fails on 5.2.8, it appears that it may be in
relation to the following change in 5.2.4 "Added missing format
validator to unpack()".
A test case of the code is as follows:
$data =
base64_decode("A86pgAAAAAAAAAABCHJuZGMta2V5AAD6AP8AAAAAADoIaG1hYy1tZDUHc2lnLWFsZwNyZWcDaW50AAAASW8kgAEsABBd7hm4xnUjl5kWLXfbZKaBA84AAAAA");
$offset=58;
$d = unpack('\@$offset/nth/Ntl/nfudge/nmac_size', $data);
print_r($d);
Expected output:
Array
(
[th] => 974
[tl] => -1451229184
[fudge] => 0
[mac_size] => 0
)
Actual output:
Warning: unpack(): Invalid format type \
Removing the "\" before that @ does make the error go away but causes a
different result:
Array
(
[th] => 52905
[tl] => -2147483648
[fudge] => 0
[mac_size] => 0
)
Is this being caused by the format validator and if so should it be
allowing this, or is there another way I can unpack this correctly.
Regards
James
