Last weekend I changed webhosts for my website. The host server I was on was a 32-bit OS and the one I moved to is 64-bit. Unexpectedly, some of my PHP scripts started giving incorrect results.
In my case the << and >> (bit shift) operations were the culprit. I ended up having to mask the result with 0xFFFFFFFF and then changing the result if negative for it to work as it did before.
Are there any other possible problems in my PHP scripts I should look for?
It’s a high level language, so anything non-bit related (bitwise operators, bitshift) will be the same.
