Hi,
have to correct that (thanks to Adam Whitehead for pointing out).
It should be %f instead of %d. However:
'<? $foo = 2.2864849511949E+190; settype($foo,"double"); printf("%f\n",
$foo) ?>' | php -q
2286484951194899000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[ben@home ben]$
This is PHP4.0.4pl1
