Not sure if I can add and example to the RFC at this point, but I came
across another example of this recently.
https://gist.github.com/iansltx/4820b02ab276c3306314daaa41573445#file-getlines-php-L9
// bindec() was doing weird things, hence converting through hex
first
// sttrev() to match endian-ness to expectations; zip file values
are little-endian
$compressedSize = hexdec(bin2hex(strrev(fread($stream, 4)))); //
compressed size
bindec was returning 0 without warning, as it was passed binary data
not a binary string. No warning bin2hex actually does the correct
translation.
a warning here would have at least indicated there was something wrong
with the input it was being passed instead of just 0.
Thanks
Scott
