pack

(PHP 3, PHP 4, PHP 5)

pack -- Pack data into binary string

Description

string pack ( string format [, mixed args [, mixed ...]] )

Pack given arguments into binary string according to format. Returns binary string containing data.

The idea to this function was taken from Perl and all formatting codes work the same as there, however, there are some formatting codes that are missing such as Perl's "u" format code. The format string consists of format codes followed by an optional repeater argument. The repeater argument can be either an integer value or * for repeating to the end of the input data. For a, A, h, H the repeat count specifies how many characters of one data argument are taken, for @ it is the absolute position where to put the next data, for everything else the repeat count specifies how many data arguments are consumed and packed into the resulting binary string. Currently implemented are

CodeDescription
aNUL-padded string
ASPACE-padded string
hHex string, low nibble first
HHex string, high nibble first
csigned char
Cunsigned char
ssigned short (always 16 bit, machine byte order)
Sunsigned short (always 16 bit, machine byte order)
nunsigned short (always 16 bit, big endian byte order)
vunsigned short (always 16 bit, little endian byte order)
isigned integer (machine dependent size and byte order)
Iunsigned integer (machine dependent size and byte order)
lsigned long (always 32 bit, machine byte order)
Lunsigned long (always 32 bit, machine byte order)
Nunsigned long (always 32 bit, big endian byte order)
Vunsigned long (always 32 bit, little endian byte order)

ddouble (machine dependent size and representation)
xNUL byte
XBack up one byte
@NUL-fill to absolute position

Пример 1. pack() example

<?php
$binarydata
= pack("nvc*", 0x1234, 0x5678, 65, 66);
?>

The resulting binary string will be 6 bytes long and contain the byte sequence 0x12, 0x34, 0x78, 0x56, 0x41, 0x42.

Note that the distinction between signed and unsigned values only affects the function unpack(), where as function pack() gives the same result for signed and unsigned format codes.

Also note that PHP internally stores integer values as signed values of a machine dependent size. If you give it an unsigned integer value too large to be stored that way it is converted to a float which often yields an undesired result.

This is how I used pack to convert base2 to base64 since base_convert doesn't support base64
The base conversions don't work for long strings, which is why I convert 1 byte at a time
Hope this helps someone

function base2to64($base2) {
    if ($remainbits = strlen($base2)%8) $base2 .= str_repeat('0',8-$remainbits);
    $base64 = NULL;
    for ($i=0;$i<strlen($base2);$i+=8) $base16 .= sprintf('%02x',bindec(sprintf('%08d',substr($base2,$i,8))));
    return base64_encode(pack('H*',$base16));
}
function base64to2($base64) {
    list($base16) = unpack('H*0',base64_decode($base64));
    $base2 = NULL;
    for ($i=0;$i<strlen($base16);$i++) $base2 .= sprintf('%04d',base_convert(substr($base16,$i,1),16,2));
    return $base2;
}

This is how you can produce a code that is in fact a picture.
(This code is a complete tool, copy it to a file, call it 'somehow.php' and produce your pictures as hexcode).

<!--//  ***Begin of File***  //-->
<form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="thefile"><input type="submit">
</form>
<?php
$rh
= fopen ($_FILES['thefile']['tmp_name'], "r");
$pb = fread($rh, 8192);
fclose($rh);
$pc = bin2hex($pb);
$pd = wordwrap($pc, 76, "\".<br /> \n \"", 1);
echo
"<TT>\$hexpic=\""."$pd"."\"\n</TT>;";
?>
<!--//  ***End of File***  //-->

Copy the result in your site code somewhere. For to show the code as a picture you can use something like what dirk (at) camindo de wrote ...

<?php
$hexpic
=".......................
....................."
;
$data = pack("H" . strlen($hexpic), $hexpic);
header("Content-Type: image/png");
// maybe your is jpeg / gif / png
header("Last-Modified: " . date("r", filectime($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'])));
header("Content-Length: " . strlen($data));
echo
$data;
?>

have fun!

Work around newsletter tracking:
include a transparent gif (1x1 pixel) with url = track.php and parameters.
track.php has to write the parameters e.g. into a database and provides the gif - using following code:

header("Content-Type: image/gif");
header("Content-Length: 49");
echo pack('H*',
  '47494638396101000100910000000000ffffffff'
 .'ffff00000021f90405140002002c000000000100'
 .'01000002025401003b'
);

When trying to create a ZIP file using the pack function - I experienced trouble with the "a" code - It converted all chars correct from the std. ASCII charset but not more language specific like
