Note Submitter: thefamousdick at gmail dot com Reason: 0 ---- Just a quick Simple example on how BIT SHIFTING works <?php $a = 16; echo $a << 2; /* This would output the number 64. Why?? well bit shifting tells PHP to take the variable $a which in our case is 16 and shift if 2 bits which is basically like saying take 16 and multiply it by 2 twice. So 16 X 2 = 32 x 2 = 64*/ ;?>
