Hi!

Probably this isn't a true bug, bit I couldn't find ANY
one (tried Newsgroups/IRC/Doc's..) who could explain this
to me:

I'm reading a price list from a file in which there are
(beyond other stuff) Product name and price saved.
Extracting the Product name is no problem but the price
is saved as a 8byte-double variable. So I used:
$price=unpack("d",substr($contents,211,8));
But this results in absolutely strange values like
8.3...+E-311 and so on. My file is valid since I've also
programmed this using Borland Delphi. There I use
the command "move" to move the part of the memory where
the file buffer is saved directly to the address of a
double variable. There it works quite fine. So - what's
wrong? (Although I'm KNOW that it's an 8byte double I
tried with any other decoding method from unpack like float,
single and so on... Nothing worked..

Please contact me If you know anything about that, it's
quite important for me :-}

Tnx a lot! - bye!
