Note Submitter: jean-francois dot courteau at nexcess dot ca ---- I discovered that, at least on my setup, the highest precise integer that can be precisely represented is different than the value of PHP_INT_MAX. On my WAMP setup (W2K12R2x64, Apache 2.4, PHP 7.x), PHP INT_MAX is 9,223,372,036,854,775,807, but the true highest precise integer I could represent is 9,007,199,254,740,991 (2^53-1). I discovered it manually, at first because I wondered why my integers were rounded at even values. Testing manually where rounding stops, when I discovered the value, I searched for it on Google, just to find out it was also the "max_safe_integer" value in Javascript. Don't know the exact relation, but since I needed exact values, I limited my script's input values to 2^53-1 instead of PHP_INT_MAX. If it can be useful to someone else...
