Problem with hexdec

[Tonic-_-]

Hmm... Alright, I did this a few months ago, I reloaded the OS on my VPS and now I'm getting issues.

 

I'm converting a value like

 

110000120bfd99a from hex to decimal, it's suppose to return 76561198509709722, but instead, it's returning 7.656119850971E+16

 

Any ideas how to fix this? It's really starting to annoy me.. I use hexdec($value);

Like I said, it worked before I reloaded my OS now it just won't work :\

That number exceeds the maximum integer value for a 32 bit OS, so it's being represented exponentially. you could use number_format() to change the way it's displayed.

 

echo number_format(hexdec('110000120bfd99a'), 0, '', '');

Ahh, I kind of thought it may have to be with the servers OS, I went from a 64-bit OS to a 32-bit OS.

 

I tried what you said, sadly it didn't return exactly what I wanted. Suppose I'll just have to reload it with 64-bit again or maybe make a API on a 64-bit OS to call it, thanks anyways :3

It returns the number in the format you showed in the OP. Is that not the format you actually want?

It returns 76561198509709728 when it was suppose to return 76561198509709722 only the last digit is incorrect :3, tested it on a few other strings and it seems to only be off by a few, but the amount it's off by is not always the same.

Oh, probably a floating point conversion error causing it to do that would be my best guess.
