I would think that if $a were a number that
echo $a;
and
printf('%d', $a);
would produce the same output. Is this correct?
Either I'm missing something, or PHP gets very confused when
dealing with some numbers. For example, the following program
<?
$result = 0x9E3779B9;
echo $result
printf('%d', $result);
?>
produces
2654435769
-1640531527
I get the same kind of unexpected results when doing arithmetic
on such numbers.
Is this tickling some kind of known bug in PHP? or am I
misunderstanding something?
