Hello,
Why is this:
fseek($f, 0x0000+2, SEEK_SET);
giving same result as:
fseek($f, 4, SEEK_SET);
and not same result as:
fseek($f, 0000+2, SEEK_SET);
or
fseek($f, 2, SEEK_SET);
?
What is wrong with the hex notation?

What does it give you if you just print the expressions instead?

Cheers

from "http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.fseek.php" we find that "Upon
success, returns 0; otherwise, returns -1."

Perhaps the problem is actually with "what happens next" when taken in
the context of "what the file contains".

It's really funny:

var_dump(0x0 + 2, 0x0+ 2, 0x0+2, 0x0 +2);

.... prints:

int(2)
int(2)
int(4)
int(4)

No idea of what's going on but it only seems to affect hexadecimal zero
so at least there's an obvious workaround.

About hex numbers and strings of hex numbers see thread
"Implied cast differs from explicit cast".

It looks like PHP is not very consistent there.

Yeah. I already reported that bug to PHP guys, so perhaps 5.2.11 will have
it fixed.
I spent like 5 hours trying to figure out what's wrong with my code ;/

This bug does not seem to occur with PHP 5.2 (Tested with 5.2.12). So it
was probably introduced with PHP 5.3 (and is still present in 5.4.0alpha3).

And it seems it's a valid bug: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61095
