Determine unknown data format of binary data in PHP

[owellWera]

I have binary data with a mix of uint32 and null terminated strings. I know the size of an individual data set ( each set of data shares the same format ), but not the actual format.I've been using unpack to read the data with the following functions:\[code\]function read_uint32( $fh ){ $return_value = http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3589289/fread($fh, 4 ); $return_value = unpack('L', $return_value ); return $return_value[1];}function read_string( $fh ){ do{ $char = fread( $fh, 1 ); $return_string .= $char; }while( ord( $char ) != 0 ); return substr($return_string, 0, -1);}\[/code\]and then basically trying both functions and seeing if the data makes sense as a string, and if not it's probably an int, is there an easier way to go about doing this?Thanks.
