New Comment:
That does not change my request for a feature. There is no way of
converting to type float or double from a raw form. This is what I'm
asking for.
0x3F800000 should be able to be converted to 1.000000
This is a feature request, as indicated in the Category.

>What I am getting is the integer value
And the reason is:
#php -r 'echo 0x3f800000;'
1065353216

$num = 0x3F800000;
printf("%f",$num);
I would expect a return value of:
1.00000
What I am getting is the integer value:
1065353216.000000

Description:
------------
Would simply like to input a hex value and get the float of it back.
The settype of course does not work, or any kind of casting. A
function that parses the binary string introduces a huge amount of
overhead when I do 1024 of these values in a row. I would think that
any programming language would have this basic capability. I'm getting
raw data, and a data type that it needs to be converted to.
I checked and didn't see this requested, though I'm sure it has been.
