    <p>How about</p> <pre><code>unsigned int zerofill(unsigned int a, int b) { return a &gt;&gt; b; } </code></pre> <p>Or, </p> <pre><code>int zerofill(int a, int b) { return ((unsigned int)a) &gt;&gt; b; } </code></pre> <p>In C, the right shift operator acts as an arithmetic shift if its left operand is signed, or a logical shift if unsigned. It appears that the original PHP code is going to some lengths to get an unsigned shift using only a signed shift.</p> <p>The C99 standard at section 6.5.7 says:</p> <blockquote> <p>The result of <code>E1 &gt;&gt; E2</code> is <code>E1</code> right-shifted <code>E2</code> bit positions. If <code>E1</code> has an unsigned type or if <code>E1</code> has a signed type and a nonnegative value, the value of the result is the integral part of the quotient of <code>E1 / 2^E2</code>. If <code>E1</code> has a signed type and a negative value, the resulting value is implementation-defined.</p> </blockquote> <p>This says clearly that to get zero bits shifted in, the operand must be either unsigned, or signed and positive. The only question is the behavior when the operand is signed and negative where the result is implementation defined. In practice, every implementation I've encountered has treated that case by sign extension so that the result still makes sense as a division by a power of two when integer values are stored as two's complement.</p> <p>I don't have the reference at hand, but C89 said effectively the same thing, and established practice before the C standard was also consistent with this interpretation.</p>

    1. COAlthough this works with all numbers, this doesn't work with all numbers. I've tried a similar method in PHP before, and it didn't work well. Thanks for your response though.

    2. COThis answer is right. It's not *possible* to "try a similar method in PHP", since PHP doesn't have an `unsigned int` type.

    3. CONot knowing PHP I wasn't willing to make the bald assertion, but none of the fuss would be required if PHP did have an `unsigned` integer type and logical shift right.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
