[PHP-WIN] covert binary data with php

hello i have a problem with reading binary data from a file. i read byte by byte with fread... now i want to convert the 1. byte in an ascii sign. and the next step is to read 2 bytes and convert the 2 bytes input into 1 sign in ascii...(16 bit) and so on. but php convert always 1 byte to 1 sign.
