PHP equivalent javascript >>> shift right with zero fill bitwise operators?


May I know how can I do PHP >>> ? Such operators is not available in PHP, but is available in Javascript.

I just managed to discover a function as follow:

function zeroFill($a, $b) 
{ 
    $z = hexdec(80000000); 
        if ($z & $a) 
        { 
            $a = ($a>>1); 
            $a &= (~$z); 
            $a |= 0x40000000; 
            $a = ($a>>($b-1)); 
        } 
        else 
        { 
            $a = ($a>>$b); 
        } 
        return $a; 
}

but unfortunately, it doesn't work perfectly.

EG: -1149025787 >>> 0 Javascript returns 3145941509 PHP zeroFill() return 0


Solution

  • I studied around the webs and come out with my own zerofill function, base on the explanation given. This method works for my program.

    Have a look:

    function zeroFill($a,$b) {
        if ($a >= 0) { 
            return bindec(decbin($a>>$b)); //simply right shift for positive number
        }
    
        $bin = decbin($a>>$b);
    
        $bin = substr($bin, $b); // zero fill on the left side
    
        $o = bindec($bin);
        return $o;
    }
