Thank you for your report.

The behavior you describe, although it is somewhat strange, is not a
bug. It is documented:

"If PHP encounters a number beyond the bounds of the integer  type, it
will be interpreted as a float instead."

"The size of a float is platform-dependent, although a maximum of
~1.8e308 with a precision of roughly 14 decimal digits is a common value
(the 64 bit IEEE format)."
