Bug #12243 Updated: Large numbers not behaving as doubles

ID: 12243 Updated by: cynic Reported By: matysekj@usms.org Old Status: Open Status: Bogus Bug Type: Variables related Operating System: FreeBSD 4.1.1-STABLE PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: 1) longlong != double 2) the scale is HW-dependant, i. e. you need a 64-bit HW to get native support for 64-bit numbers. that's how it's always been in PHP. there was no change WIRT this. 5,000,000,000 is clearly more than your HW can take, so it's clipped to the closest possible value. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-18 23:34:07] matysekj@usms.org I've verified that this behavior is relatively new. It does not happen in 4.03PL1, but does in 4.05 and 4.06. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-18 23:13:02] matysekj@usms.org $testnumber = 5000000000; echo $testnumber; The result is 2147483647. The variable is of type integer, even though it was initialized with a double value. I first noticed this with PHP 4.05 and it still occurs with 4.05. I do not believe it behaved this way back when I had 4.03PL1 installed. My configure line is: './configure' '--with-gd=no' '--with-mysql=/usr/local' '--with-config-file-path=/usr/home/priraise/phpini' '--enable-debug=no' '--enable-track-vars=yes' '--enable-ftp=yes' '--enable-force-cgi-redirect=yes' '--with-openssl' '--enable-trans-sid' '--enable-xml' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=12243&edit=1
