#21595 [Opn->Fbk]: Overflow in Numeric types

ID: 21595 Updated by: iliaa@php.net Reported By: alex at aftinfo dot hu -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: PostgreSQL related Operating System: ANY PHP Version: 4.3.0 Assigned To: helly New Comment: Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-STABLE-latest.zip Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-12 06:45:27] alex at aftinfo dot hu 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! Bye, Alex ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=21595&edit=1
