You have it backwords.. -333371788 is signed and the 3961595508 is
unsigned.
But...
<?php
$dec = -333371788;
$unsigned = sprintf("%ul", $dec);
print $unsigned; // == 3961595508
Do note that php doesn't have native unsigned numbers so doing
something like this wont work right:
printf("%d", $unsigned); // == 2147483647
So to convert it back you have to do something like:
printf("%d", $unsigned+0); // == -333371788

First, let me assure you that this is not one of those shady pyramid schemes
you've been hearing about. No, sir. Our model is the trapezoid!
