Bitwise operators and PHP versions

[Anon]

PHPeople,

I have a strange problem: functions using the bitwise shift left and right operators (<< and >>) work fine on my local version 3.0.16 while my IPS's version 3.00 gives me an error complaining about lines contaning one of these operators.

The PHP docs mention nothing of such an inconsistency, and I fail to see why there should be a difference. I have transformed the functions into plain arithmetics, but it doesn't work as smoothly as the true bitwise ones.

Any hints?

Not sure about that. You ISP's version is ancient and w/ a lot of bugs that have been fixed since then. Your best bet is to look at the "Changelog" file that comes w/ the source code, or look at the version in the CVS server: cvs.php.net

Good luck
