ID: 38968 Updated by: bjori@php.net Reported By: lamotkin at softhome dot net -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Win98 PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php It is documented that "PHP does not support unsigned integers."

Shall this '>>' logic be kept for the future, and is it for all platforms? There would be great to add two new core functions: 'shr($value, $bit_count)' and 'sar($value, $bit_count)'. It's not that hard to implement! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=38968&edit=1
