#23564 [Opn]: base_convert() ignores last character

ID: 23564 Updated by: hholzgra@php.net Reported By: jaakkoho at paju dot oulu dot fi Status: Open Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Linux 2.4 (Debian) PHP Version: 4.3.2RC3-dev -Assigned To: +Assigned To: hholzgra New Comment: see also 23563 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-15 09:10:33] derick@php.net Okay, this is definitely not trivial to fix and making this a documentation problem instead: base_convert() loses precision on big numbers due to float properties. Derick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-15 07:33:45] derick@php.net Found the problem... the float (internally) reaches maximum precision in the case. Going to try to fix it in some way. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-09 09:22:00] jaakkoho at paju dot oulu dot fi Both the following commands outputs same value: base_convert("aaaaaaaaaaa", 36, 10); base_convert("aaaaaaaaaab", 36, 10); output: 37606201097790608 In fact, the last character can be whatever between 0-z, and the output is always same. This bug appears only if strlen($string_to_convert) > 10. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=23564&edit=1
