Re: How to transfer "2.2864849511949E+190" to a normal-human-readable number?

Hi, have to correct that (thanks to Adam Whitehead for pointing out). It should be %f instead of %d. However: '<? $foo = 2.2864849511949E+190; settype($foo,"double"); printf("%f\n", $foo) ?>' | php -q 2286484951194899000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Segmentation fault (core dumped) [ben@home ben]$ This is PHP4.0.4pl1 Ben Ben Peter wrote: > > Hi, > > I tried > > <? $foo = 2.2864849511949E+190; settype($foo,"double"); printf("%d\n", > $foo) ?> > > which gave me > > -2147483648 > > echo $foo gives > > 2.2864849511949E+190 > > - This looks like the number is too large for printf (the 'human > readable form' printed by printf is abviously wrong). > > Does anybody know such of limits to sprintf? > > Ben > > SED wrote: > > > > Hi, > > > > I'm multiplying floating numbers: > > > > $result = $foo * $boo; and the result is like this: > > > > echo "$result"; > > > > And the result is like this: > > > > 2.2864849511949E+190 > > > > How can I transfer this to normal-human-readable number? > > > > Regards, > > Sumarlidi Einar Dadason > > > > SED - Graphic Design > > > > ------------------------------------------ > > Phone: (+354) 4615501 > > Mobile: (+354) 8960376 > > Fax: (+354) 4615503 > > E-mail: sed@sed.is > > Homepage: www.sed.is <- New Homepage! > > ------------------------------------------ > > > > -- > > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > > To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net > > For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net > > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net > For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
