The b-prefix for binary strings is great, but how does that work with a
function like file_get_contents() or fread() ?
One can't do: $data = bfile_get_contents("somefile.bin");
fopen() and file_get_contents() already understands a context parameter,
specifying whethter you'd want to have binary or string/unicode data can
be done through that.
We create images in PHP scripts and pass them through with
readfile("foo,gif"). Did I understand correctly that this would still
work without changes? But echo file_get_contents("foo.gif") would fail,
right?
This is not a complaint, just trying to understand the implications,
