note 102126 added to language.types.float

There are many scripts/functions to convert a Hex string to a Floating point number, but i could'nt find any usable function to convert a float2hex (float number to hexadecimal) .. so i went on an made one! .. to my surprise.. it didn't matched the other existing functions results exactly due to different methods used on each .. so i went on an created a complementary function to have both results match float2hex32n<->hex2float32n. <? /** Complementary functions to CONVERT PHP FLOATING POINT NUMBERS or DECIMALS * (IEEE 754 single-precision 32 bit) TO HEXADECIMAL AND BACK. * * @author NSTIAC (Jorge D.
