converting numbers

Hi

I am using the base_convert() function to convert numbers between binary,
hexadecimal, decimal, etc... It works great, but I have problems converting
numbers with .'s

Like this number:

15.20 decimal will be 1111 as binary...

is there any way to include the rest of the number in the convertion?

Sure, just write your own conversion function. Note, however, that
you won't be able to use those binary, octal, or hexadecimal floats
anywhere; PHP only recognizes binary, octal, and hexadecimal integers.

I don't think base_convert caters for floating point binary numbers,
which is a little silly, so you'll have a to write a function to do that
for you. I suggest you type cast it to a string, use the dot to divide
the string into two, and then convert each number into binary, and then
do some floating point arithmetic to get the true result. If somebody
would like to post such a function?

I'm writing class which will be able to store large numbers (my ambition is to make it able to operand on thousands of bits) and perform various operations on it (similiar to those available with int type). I want to store the number as binary stream, and I don't know how to convert large decimal string (char*) to binary stream. Converting using MOD would last for hours with really big numbers, and in fact I don't know any other ways to...

Does anyone have C code laying around to do this? I have to read in some binary data files that contains some 4-byte IBM/370 floating point values.

I can handle endian conversion myself (the files are stored as big endian, and I'll process them on a little endian...

I have an extremely cpu/data intensive piece of code that makes heavy use of the following function: void convertToDouble(const std::string& in, double& out) { out = atof(in.c_str()); } I would really like to get away from using any old C-style functions. So, I modified the above function to make it follow the C++ convention:

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
