IMHO the docs say char
My argument was that ord() semantics and docs say that it works on
_characters_ and this simply does not make sense for the binary
strings. If we really want ord() to work on binary type, fine, but
we'd better have docs that make sense then.

Andrei: The docs say "Return ASCII value of character", which doesn't
make sense for binary. You can use bin2hex()

It makes perfect sense to me that ord() would work on binary strings.
When we return an ASCII value we don't limit the range returned, it can
be 1 or 255. So, I see no reason to cripple this function and prevent it
from working on binary data.

Hei,
I committed a patch to make ord() work on IS_BINARY strings earlier
today (http://news.php.net/php.cvs/33862). Andrei doesn't like that
because the description in the docs says "ord -- Return ASCII value of
character", which in his opinion doesn't make much sense for binary
strings. Other
