The example is a fragment of the logic used to read an ieee 754 number from an excel spreadsheet. When you run the code in php4 it yields the correct interpretation. However, with php5 it appears that the bitwise mask and shift when setting $fexp fails with the code that works with php4. Also, the php5 resolution of the number is slightly higher. I recoded the example with the logic that works with php5. Was there a change in the ieee library or a change to the casting of a floating point number for bit manipulation in php5? I have not tested this on any other platform.
