bindec/decbin

Hi The next ;-) Manual for bindec() *bindec() converts a binary number to an integer. The largest number that can be converted is 31 bits of 1's or 2147483647 in decimal.* bindec() can handle much bigger values, see the example below. Manual for decbin(): *Returns a string containing a binary representation of the given number argument. The largest number that can be converted is 4294967295 in decimal resulting to a string of 32 1's.* decbin doesn't issue an error when called with bigger values. The function converts but truncates every bigger value to 32 digits where the MSB are truncated. Example: <?php echo bindec('11111111111111111111111111111111'); echo '<br>'; echo decbin(4294967295); echo '<br>'; echo bindec('111111111111111111111111111111110'); echo '<br>'; echo decbin(8589934590); echo '<br>'; echo bindec('1111111111111111111111111111111100'); echo '<br>'; echo decbin(17179869180); echo '<br>'; echo bindec('11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 11'); ?> Result: 4294967295 11111111111111111111111111111111 8589934590 11111111111111111111111111111110 17179869180 11111111111111111111111111111100 1.844674407371E+019 Regards Conni
