Anyone know how to pull data out of a file and interpret it as binary in
PHP? Specifically, I have four bytes in a file whose contents I want to
bit-shift left by varying amounts, and then store the results as a
number. The raw data is binary. In python, it looks like this:
s0 = ord(four_byte_string[0])
s1 = ord(four_byte_string[1])
s2 = ord(four_byte_string[2])
s3 = ord(four_byte_string[3])
return (s3 << 24) | (s2 << 16) | (s1 << 8) | s0
and the value returned should be a number. Anyone know how to accomplish
a similar thing in PHP?
