php-gettext classes (http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/php-gettext) extract four bytes from gettext translation header, convert them to integer and use it to detect byteorder.
classes compare (int) ((222) | (18<<8) | (4<<16) | (149<<24)) with (int)0x950412de and (int) ((149) | (4<<8) | (18<<16) | (222<<24)) with (int)0xde120495 they work with php versions older than 5.0.2. I don't know if it is a bug. I think this is only undocumented change in php behavior. Or I missed some docs. If you are planning to keep such php behavior, just close http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=30315. I think, I've already fixed php-gettext scripts and they will work until you decide to stop overflowing in (int) ((222) | (18<<8) | (4<<16) | (149<<24)). If you are not planning to keep such behavior, then you have one bug filed in your bugtracker. > Do you consider this a bug?
