| Hi everyone,
|
| HTTP output, if I understand correctly, is to convert character
| encodings from what PHP is outputting to some other specified format.
| This could be used, for example, if your PHP source is stored in UTF-8,
| and you wish (for some reason) to output in UCS-2. Is this correct?
| Where else would this feature be used?

| Thanks

oddly put question. 'http output' is not a php function. there are
individual functions that allow you to format data in a variety of formats
from utf-8 to base 64, etc.. the answer to your specific question is, no. as
for using the other formatting types/functions...they may be required in
order for you to interact with a database or to format a binary file so a
browser can receive it and handle it properly - as in, base64 encoding an
executable where the browser should ask if it should be saved, run, etc.
