pack()

[Augural Sentinel]

I don't like using other people's code, especially when I don't understand exactly how something works.  So, after looking through Joe's PHP script for connecting to Battle.net, I started looking through the PHP manual.

So my question is this.  Does PHP's pack() create the correct type of Endians that is needed to log onto Battle.net when you use 'v' and 'V'?

Code Select Expand

$a = pack('V', 0x00);
$b = pack('v', 0x00);
And would the above be the correct usage?  Or do I need to use a different format character instead of 'V'?

If you read the descriptions of format on php.net, it tells you.

Eh, it still doesn't help a whole lot.  Do I need short or long variable types?

It helps entirely.

Read the docs.

I completely forgot to check the B.net docs.  You're right.  I'm just retarded.
