An interesting little question has pooped up.

How big is an integer?

Firebird uses BIGINT or INT_64 for generator values, and the new ibase_gen_id in PHP5 returns that value as an integer.

Has any thought been given to managing 64bit field values in PHP5?

Hi,
AFAIK ext/mysqli returns string in case the int value is too big to fit into 32 bits.
After that it's up to the user to decide what to do -> cast to float or use bcmath .

HTH,
Andrey
