Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78081&edit=1 ID: 78081 Updated by: requinix@php.net Reported by: memory dot agape at gmail dot com Summary: I tried to output -9223372036854775808 but it will show -9.2233720368548E+18 -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug Type: Bug -Package: *General Issues +Package: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: MacOS PHP Version: 7.2.18 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: This is a quirk of how PHP parses code: -1 is actually the number 1 negated, and since -9223372036854775808 is too large for a positive integer it overflows to float and *then* is negated. You cannot write -9223372036854775808 as a literal. Write -9223372036854775807 - 1 instead.
