It's with much frustration that I learned, that data packed with "Z" cannot be unpacked again. The unpack() function cannot read back a NUL-terminated string. For example, this simply doesn't work as one expects:
var_dump(unpack('ZZ', "Hello\x00World\x00"));
Produces:
array(1) {
["Z"]=>
string(1) "H"
}
(And no, "Z*" won't help here. I'm not even sure what "Z" is useful for at this point.)
