handling 64 bit ints in php

Hello,
My platform is Solaris 2.11 on x86, amd64 actually.

I'm working with a product that requires 64-bit values be returned
as ints. Php 5.2.5 however returns this as a float. Is there some
option I can twiddle to change this?? Is it a matter of just casting?
It didn't seem to do the job. I can re-build source if necessary

I posted to php.dev as well, but it seems there is more spam than
information on that group.

Thanks.

Try the big_int package from pecl: http://pecl.php.net/package/big_int

It worked for me in a similar case.

All the best,

Hey folks, I have a question regarding file handling, and the preservation of class structure. I have a class (and I will post snippets of code later in the post) with both primitive data structures (ints), and more complex data structures (strings and vectors) in it, and would like to write the entire class to a data file that could then be read back and loaded. However I'm having difficulty with this -- I found out (due to an...

Hi. I am reading bits(1's & 0's) from a file and i wa wondering what is the most efficient method of converting these strings to individual int's? eg. File contains: 110001 010011 etc... Whats the best way to read in each line and break it up into individual ints?

I am working on connected component analysis, but that is irrelevant. I have a mapping containing ints as the keys and sets of ints as the "values." Given an integer, I need to iterate through the map, which means I must iterate through all of the sets in the map. I need an iterator that points to the set where the integer was found. How can I do this? What will the type of this iterator be? Can you help me with a code snippet?

I have a question regarding accessing long long ints in unions. I have constructed a union with a double, two ints in a structure, and a long long int. When the double is loaded with a floating-point constant, the double is loaded correctly, and the two ints in the structure reflect the double correctly when printed as hex values. However, when the long long is printed as a hex value (using %016x) it prints 8 zeros then the upper 32-bits...

/*hello could someone please help me with the errors i get related to pointers to arrays of ints. I want to declare something like int *d = { 7, 11, 18, 54, 64, 55, 37, 38, }; rather than int d = { 7, 11, 18, 54, 64, 55, 37, 38, }; It seems to work in the code below but I get compile warnings and Im concerned about portability.

Hi, I have written a small function that can (I think) deal with overflow/underflow while adding integers and divide by zero problem. Can some one please tell me if I have done it correctly ?

What other functions should I look to implement for my project ? #include...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
