View any (binary) string as a hexdump
This is most commonly used to view binary data from streams or sockets while debugging, but can be used to view any string with non-viewable characters.
Once installed, using this library is as simple as running:
$dumper = new Clue\Hexdump\Hexdump();
echo $dumper->dump("this string \x12\x15\x16 contains \x00 binary \x04 data");Its output will look something like this:
0000 74 68 69 73 20 73 74 72 69 6e 67 20 12 15 16 20 this str ing ... 0010 63 6f 6e 74 61 69 6e 73 20 00 20 62 69 6e 61 72 contains . binar 0020 79 20 04 20 64 61 74 61 y . data
