in PHP 4.06:

<?php
     echo "<hr>";
     echo ":\0:";
     echo "<hr>";
     print ":\0:";
     echo "<hr>";
?>

produces

<hr>
:          (0x3A 0x00 0x3A)
<hr>
:          (0x3A 0x00 0x3A)
<hr>

but in PHP 4.2.0 it

produces

<hr>
: :        (0x3A 0x20 0x3A)
<hr>
: :        (0x3A 0x20 0x3A)
<hr>

why it is so? and how can I print non-printable characters like \0 via PHP?

Please try the latest CVS snapshot from http://snaps.php.net/ as I can't reproduce this.
