#50883 [Bgs]: PHP x64 has only 32Bit integer

ID: 50883 Updated by: johannes@php.net Reported By: virsacer at web dot de Status: Bogus Bug Type: Compile Failure Operating System: win32 only - Windows 7 Pro x64 PHP Version: 5.3.1 New Comment: Just to make this clear: "we" means "Windows" in that case, the Windows developers and Visual Studio developers decided to use a 32bit type for representing the "long" data type. Many Unix(-like) operating systems decided to use a 64bit type for "long" on 64bit machines. The C standard allows both. PHP uses whatever the operating system uses. We have plans for a platform independent large integer but that needs some work, maybe it appears some day, maybe not.
