I've never seen a <<< operator. Do you mean << (shl, shift left)? shift left means each step multiplying by 2: $a = 4; $s = 2; $value = $a << 1; // $a * 2 $value = $s << 2; // $s * 4 $value = $a << 4; // $a * 16 This is explained under http://ww.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.bitwise.php -- Dennis -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
