a dec 2 hex function that goes way beyon 7fffffff. I don't now wat the limit is. float's precision is 14 decimal digits so the precision of dec2hex should be 5AF3107A3FFF (=99999999999999)

function dec2hex($number, $length) {
  $hexval="";
  while ($number>0) {
    $remainder=$number%16;
    if ($remainder<10)
      $hexval=$remainder.$hexval;
    elseif ($remainder==10)
      $hexval="a".$hexval;
    elseif ($remainder==11)
      $hexval="b".$hexval;
    elseif ($remainder==12)
      $hexval="c".$hexval;
    elseif ($remainder==13)
      $hexval="d".$hexval;
    elseif ($remainder==14)
      $hexval="e".$hexval;
    elseif ($remainder==15)
      $hexval="f".$hexval;
    $number=floor($number/16);
  }
  while (strlen($hexval)<$length) $hexval="0".$hexval;
//this is just to add zero's at the beginning to make hexval a certain length
  return $hexval;
}
