[PHP] Converting binary data

[Lucijan]

Hi

I'm retriving some binary data from a Interbase blob field (a custom format
to do some drawing) into a php variable like this:

$blh = ibase_blob_open($row[4]);
while ($blob = ibase_blob_get($blh, 400))
  $Objects .= $blob;
ibase_blob_close($blh);

Now I want to tell php to get first 4 bytes (btw, is there something that
returns size of integer - sizeof seems to work on arrays only), and convert
them to integer

Thanks

Lucijan

[PHP] Object reference

[Lucijan]

I can't understand why this works like it does.

class MyObj {
  var $Name;
  function MyObj($Name) {
$this-Name = $Name;
  }
}
$a = new MyObj('MyObjName');
$b = $a;
$b-Name = 'NoName';
echo $a-Name;

Last line will output 'MyObjName' instead of 'NoName' (like I was expecting)
I'd expect $a and $b to behave like reference pointers (change in $b is
reflected in $a and vice versa) instead of copiing $a to $b (beiing a Delphi
programmer this is as natural to me as the Sun raising in east and setting
in west :-)

So, is there a way to do this; pointers or something maybe?

 Use  to reference one variable to another!
 $b = $a;

Thanks.
