I'm trying to pass arrays of doubles from C to PHP over a TCP/IP connection and am not having
much luck. On the C side I do write(s,array,numElems*sizeof(double)) but PHP doesn't seem to
have a way of treating the 64-bit IEEE formatted double as a double. Casting it as a double seems to
perform the same thing as the atof function in C, ie it converts a string of the from
"[+-]xxx.xxxx" to a double.
Any ideas? Sorry if I've overlooked something obvious in the manual.
