PHP Bug?

How come this code in PHP version 4.4 does something different than in version 4.3?
$val = 538759009 ^ 0xAABBCCDD;
print "val=" . $val;
= 2326201276 (version 4.4)
and
= -1968766020 (version 4.3)
I want the behavior of version 4.4, but I'm not quite sure what it is doing differently than in version 4.3. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Try
http://us3.php.net/bcpow, might not fix it but it's worth a shot eh?
I didn't find anything in the manual about the issue you're having, hopefully feyd or one of the other phpdn forum gods will come clear this issue up as it has me stumped as well.

Weird... any ideas why 4.4 might differ? Also is there an equivalent of the C++ function atol() in PHP? I wonder if 4.4 is taking the ASCII value of 538759009.

Scroll down to type casting

I tried:
$val = (string)(538759009) ^ 0xAABBCCDD;
print "val=" . $val;
val=-1968766020
How can I duplicate the version 4.4 behavior (i.e. val=2326201276)?
