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

I think that the problem is that preg_split returns an array. So the array is inserted as the first char, the time as the second, and two chars are left.

I don't know how to fix this problem, but to create a temporary array:

$ip = explode('.','10.2.1.1');

And then:

echo pack("SSA12AC4L",
 '25',
 '00001',
 '2u7wx6fd94fd',
 'f',
 $ip[0],
 $ip[1],
 $ip[2]
 $ip[3],
 time()+(60*60));
