Hi All,
I'm writing a program that connects to a data stream containing a number of
different variable types. Ie 4 & 8 byte integers, ASCII characters and 8
byte floats.
I use fgetc to capture the data in characters then I reconstruct the
variables from these bytes.
For integers this is easy, just multiply the bytes by orders of 256 to get
the right offset values. The thing I can't figure out is how to reconstruct
a double precision floating point number from its 8 component bytes.
Is there an easy way to do this in PHP? I couldn't find anything useful
through
Google...
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
