I need to convert an integer value to a 2 byte array and then to a 2 character string to write to a text file. &nbsp;I obtain the value from the file using:<br />
<br />
$fhandle = fopen($this-&gt;FilePath, 'r');<br />
$myVal &nbsp;= unpack('S',fread($fhandle,<wbr /> 2));<br />
echo 'My Val = '.$myVal[1]; //let's say that $myVal = 1234<br />
<br />
How do I convert the value back to the original format from an integer?<br />
<br />
Thank you,<br />
