#21595 [NEW]: Overflow in Numeric types

From: alex@aftinfo.hu Operating system: Red Hat 7.2 PHP version: 4.3.0 PHP Bug Type: Variables related Bug description: Overflow in Numeric types Hello, I've seen a bugreport (Bug #21340 numerics can overflow php numeric datatypes ) and I have experienced it too with postgreSQL. Database IDs (varchar(24)) are interpreted as numbers, and lose information. f.e.: 200201010000000000000000 is equal to 200201010000000000000001 (!!!!) The patches I've found were bad, they didn't help. Values from a field larger than PHP's numerc types should be reported as srtings, not as numerics!
