This works everywhere like it should:

echo (float) 0xABCDEF;

I know it that if I write --- echo (float) 0xABCDEF;
but if I have string with hex value in it. and I want to get "int" or "float" as I wrote in my example - I will get different result on different OS

another example
$var = "0xABCDEF"; // I have this string
$var = (float)$var; // I want to have 'float'
echo $var; // different OS \ different results

Win32 / *BSD strtod(3) libc function does not support this, see also:

This is not PHP bug.
