"ebcdic2ascii() is an Apache-specific function which is available only on EBCDIC based operating systems (OS/390, BS2000)." -php.net/ebcdic
What kind of text??? Usually, the text is in ASCII? Do you want to convert to the actual numerical representation (ie A == 0x41)? If so, you can try bin2hex(). if you want it in decimal, prolly hexdec() in a foreach on a explode("\r\n", chunk_split($whatever, 2))'d bin2hex() string... I say that because I think bindec will convert the whole string at once, not char by char...

It is thus offensive and disgraceful for an unbeliever to hear a Christian talk nonsense about such things, claiming that what he is saying is based in Scripture. We should do all that we can to avoid such an embarrassing situation, which people see as ignorance in the Christian and laugh to scorn. -Saint Augustine -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
