(Assuming Intel endian) $hex = 0xFEEDFACE; echo $hex."\n"; Displays 4277009102 - as expected echo join("", unpack("N", pack("N", $hex)))."\n"; Prints -17958194; internally converted to float. One would expect 4277009102 here as well echo bindec(decbin(join("", unpack("N", pack("N", $hex)))))."\n"; Workaround: wrap bindec(decbin()) around it, then you get 4277009102 again. I would sure love to get some developers to comment on this behaviour. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.pack.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+31142 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+31142 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+31142
