This little contribution needs some review. Thanks! |
The ``nextBytes()`` method returns a binary string which may contain the | ||
``\0`` character. If you store this value in a database or include it as | ||
part of the URL, make sure to hash the value returned by ``nextBytes()`` | ||
(to do that, you can use a simple ``md5()`` PHP function). |

Not sure if we should limit the tip to these two scenarios. There could be lots of third-party systems you need so send data to which may or may not be capable of handling strings containing the null byte. Could we/should we write this more generic?
