pocobueno1388 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 "A binary-safe function is a function or operation that can be performed on a binary file without modifying the contents of the file. This ensures that the file is not corrupted or mutilated by the function or operation."I got that off of:http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/0,,sid9_gci885186,00.html Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/18164-what-is-binary-safe/#findComment-77903 Share on other sites More sharing options...

atitthaker Posted August 23, 2006 Author Share Posted August 23, 2006 I still have one doubt regarding binary safe functions. Does it mean that if a PHP function is *not* binary safe than I am going to corrupt that file by invoking that function and use file there?Plz help.

pocobueno1388 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I am not sure...but I would assume so. I would definitely use the binary safe mode just to be safe.
