So, PHP casts them to floats. As a workaround I had > to use modulo-8 values for the top hex digits. (E.g. 0x1abcdef0 instead > of 0x9abcdef0). This is interestingly incorrect. I've just rechecked it and seen that pack "N" works with unsigned integers as documented. I remember it packing large (>2^31-1) integers into float, but I don't remember my earlier test details. Obviously I've done something wrong in my earlier trials. Kind regards, -- Abdullah Ramazanoglu aramazan ÄT myrealbox D0T cöm
