An interesting little question has pooped up. How big is an integer? Firebird uses BIGINT or INT_64 for generator values, and the new ibase_gen_id in PHP5 returns that value as an integer. Has any thought been given to managing 64bit field values in PHP5? Hi,AFAIK ext/mysqli returns string in case the int value is too big to fit into 32 bits. After that it's up to the user to decide what to do -> cast to float or use bcmath . HTH, Andrey
