I suppose it is a bug. It seems that all unsigned unpacks dont honor this, as the documentation on unpack does note. I did, however, write a patch that will enable the returning of unsigned values. It still needs approval and is currently only for the cvs version of php: http://zirzow.dyndns.org/patches/pack.patch A work around on this is you'll have to use s/printf() to obtain the correct unsigned value: $array = unpack('Llongvalue', -1); printf("%lu", $array['longvalue']); Curt -- If eval() is the answer, you're almost certainly asking the wrong question. -- Rasmus Lerdorf, BDFL of PHP -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
