n Integer
The argument is saved as an unsigned short, which is 2 bytes. The
value is saved in a way that allows for safe unpacking on both little-
endian and big-endian machines.N Integer
The argument is saved as an unsigned long, which is 8 bytes. The value
is saved in a way that allows for safe unpacking on both little-endian
and big-endian machines.
s Integer The argument is saved as an unsigned short, which is usually 2 bytes.
S Integer The argument is saved as a signed short, which is usually 2 bytes with
one bit used for sign.^
v Integer The argument is saved as an unsigned short in little-endian order.
V Integer The argument is saved as an unsigned long in little-endian order.
x None This format directive doesn't match with an argument. It writes a null byte.
X None This format directive causes the pointer to packed string to back up 1 byte.
@ None
This format directive moves the pointer to the absolute position
specified by its repeat count. The empty space is padded with null
bytes.parse_str(string query)
The parse_str function parses the query argument as if it were an HTTP GET
query. A variable is created in the current scope for each field in the query. You may
wish to use this function on the output of parse_url.
<?
$query = "name=Leon&occupation=Web+Engineer";
parse_str($query);
print("$name
\n");
print("$occupation BR>\n");
?>
array parse_url(string query)
The parse_url function breaks an URL into an associative array with the following
elements: fragment, host, pass, path, port, query, scheme, user. The query
is not evaluated as with the parse_str function.
