// Demonstrates how to convert a string to the GSM character set byte representation.

$s = 'support@chilkatsoft.com, {abc}';

// In the above string the a-z letters have the same 1-byte values in the GSM character set.
// The '@' character is the 0x00 byte in GSM.
// The curly brace chars are 2-bytes each in GSM -- each beginning with the 0x1B escape char.
// The '.', ' ', and ',' are the same in GSM as us-ascii.

// Let's convert to GSM.

// bdGsm will contain the GSM bytes.
// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.BinData')
$bdGsm = new COM("Chilkat.BinData");

// Append the string to bdGsm.  The 2nd arg "gsm" tells AppendString to
// convert the incoming string to the gsm byte representation.
$success = $bdGsm->AppendString($s,'gsm');

// Let's examine what we have in hex:
print $bdGsm->getEncoded('hex') . "\n";

// The result is:  737570706F7274006368696C6B6174736F66742E636F6D2C201B286162631B29

// Save the GSM bytes to a file.
$success = $bdGsm->WriteFile('qa_output/gsm.txt');
