This is done in a few examples using base64_encode() and base64_decode().
A particular OpenGL example I can recall encoded a small (~20k) DLL
directly into the PHP source that relied upon it, then unpacked it at
runtime.
Ah, there it is:
** snip **
if ( is_file( SimpleWndProc.dll ) ? filesize( SimpleWndProc.dll ) !=
2560 : 1 )
{
$dll =
eNrtVU9IFGEUf7NpTbZue1hCYqlvQT3JslsG0clt/aho1XHNDOnguDutY+uMzh80

$dllout = fopen( SimpleWndProc.dll, wb );
if ( !$dllout )
die( Unable to extract SimpleWndProc.dll );
fwrite( $dllout, gzuncompress( base64_decode( $dll ) ) );
fclose( $dllout );

That's from an iridium example. You just base64 encode the data and
enclose it in a string. Of course, that's simply one way of doing it.

Hi all,
Well so far my attempts to make this work have failed so i thought i
would try here. What i have is an installation script that has to write a
few files to the webserver. Im trying to cut down on the amount of files
that need to be uploaded/modified etc. So what im trying to do is include
all the data in one file. What the user then uploads and the physical
visual basic program activates the script what in turn sets up the web
server side. The problem comes when im trying to handle the ascii values
for the binary data. Warning: Unexpected character in input: ''
(ASCII=3) state=2.
I basicly have 3 questions.
1) Is it possible to store binary data in text form during transport and
then using php's file writing functions to output the file?
2) How would i do it as i guess i have to encode the ascii characters but
how would i do that?
3)Is there any better ways you suggest me to do this.
Im trying to this for two reasons first is to make the application usable
by anyone and the second reason is to try to push the boundarys of the
langage.
I would like anyones comments and views on this please. Any views might
help me come to a result.
Thanks
Jamie
