Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-05-16 18:20:01] vrana@php.net Description: ------------ I want to work with DB bigint data type without troubles, I want to call mysql_insert_id() safely. Also some problems in Google Code Jam require 8 bytes int and it's very hard to solve them with 4 bytes int because BC is too slow. I know that this might be by design but it is a bad design. Especially given that Linux 64 bits builds have 8 bytes int. Also the main advantage of 64 bits is to be able to use these 64 bits. Test script: --------------- <?php echo PHP_INT_SIZE; // with php-5.5.0RC1-Win32-VC11-x64.zip Expected result: ---------------- 8 Actual result: -------------- 4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64863&edit=1
