Bug #61764 output of unpack while 'I' used
Submitted: 2012-04-18 13:32 UTC Modified: 2012-04-24 09:46 UTC

Description:
------------
php -r "print_r(unpack('I', pack('I', -30000)));

gives 4294937296 on s390x but -30000 on x86_64. According to manual I think correct value should be 4294937296 on x86_64. Also perl returns this number for
perl -e "print unpack('I', pack('I', -30000))" for these two architectures.

Or have I misunderstood something?

Verified. If PHP can represent the unpacked unsigned number with its integer type, it should never return a negative number.

The result of pack() is correct:

$ php -r "print_r(unpack('H*', pack('I', -30000)));"
Array
