Convert a Perl code to PHP

Question

I need to convert the following perl function to php:

pack(\"SSA12AC4L\",
     $id,
     $loc,
     $name,
     \'ar\',
     split(/\\./, $get->getIP),
     t         


        

Answer 1

From the PHP documentation for pack().

Pack given arguments into binary string according to format.

The idea for this function was taken from Perl and all formatting codes work the same as in Perl. However, there are some formatting codes that are missing such as Perl's "u" format code.

Surely it should just work as is? You may need to rename some variables
