Description:
------------
$ip='255.255.255.254';
$iplong=ip2long($ip);
print($iplong);

Must print -2 as documented. But on x86_64 returns 4294967294.

Tried on two different hosts - one athlon64 with gentoo, other athlon64 with FC.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$ip='255.255.255.254';
$iplong=ip2long($ip);
print($iplong);

Expected result:
----------------
-2

Actual result:
--------------
4294967294

actually this is the expected behavior. to obtain the correct result, to what the documentation clearly states.

use the "%u" formatter of sprintf() or printf().

http://php.net/ip2long

and then you will get the correct result both arch

Can't agree... quote from http://php.net/ip2long:

Because PHP's integer type is signed, and many IP addresses will result in negative integers, you need to use the "%u" formatter of sprintf() or printf() to get the string representation of the unsigned IP address.
---

So, interger type is signed, results may be signed, and _IF_I_NEED_ unsigned, I will use %u or so... But what if I dont need and signed is ok for me? I want signed value but on x86_64 I gets unsigned... In any case, any function must return same result for same parameter at any platform, is not?
