Reverting unpack('C*', "string")
pack, php, unpack
Solution
You should use call_user_func_array to revert `unpack('C*', “string”)`, like this:
call_user_func_array('pack', array_merge(array('C*'), $array )))
Problem
I would like to know how I can reverse what this unpack function bellow performed. I think the pack function is able to reverse what unpack performed, however I'm not sure. First I have a simple string which after unpacking it I would have an array of bytes representing such string. Now I would like to know how to reverse such array back to the original string. ``` <?php $array = unpack('C*', "odd string"); /*Output: Array ( [1] => 111 [2] => 100 [3] => 100 [4] => 32 [5] => 115 [6] => 116 [7] => 114 [8] => 105 [9] => 110 [10] => 103 )*/ $string = pack("which format here?", $array); echo $string; #Desired Output: odd string ?> ``` Thank you.
