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

Sometimes the error statements mean something worth reviewing. Too few arguments may mean there is a need to review each input used in the PHP pack statement aligns with the expected format.

For instance, did you take into account the 'ar' field used in the perl pack statement? You might be off in the resulting packed data by one field because of that.
