How can I have a 64-bit integer in PHP?
Php64 BitIntegerPhp Problem Overview
How can I have a 64-bit integer in PHP?
It seems like it is not by a config file, but rather it might be a compile-time option, and it depends on the platform.

Solution 1 - Php
Native 64-bit integers require 64-bit hardware AND the 64-bit version of PHP.
On 32-bit hardware:
$ php -r 'echo PHP_INT_MAX;'
2147483647
On 64-bit hardware:
$ php -r 'echo PHP_INT_MAX;'
9223372036854775807

UPDATE: It does now (tested on AMD quad core, Windows 8.1).
Note that PHP on Windows does not support 64-bit integers at all, even if both the hardware and PHP are 64-bit. See this link for details:
>On Windows x86_64, PHP_INT_MAX is 2147483647. This is because in the underlying C code, a long is 32 bit. > > However, Linux on x86_64 uses a 64-bit long, so PHP_INT_MAX is going to be 9223372036854775807.

PHP int size is platform-dependent. There is a function called unpack() which essentially allows to convert different types of data from binary strings to PHP variables. It seems to be the only way to store as 64 bit is to store it as a string.
I found the following code at: http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/2007/03/27/integers-in-php-running-with-scissors-and-portability/
/// portably build 64bit id from 32bit hi and lo parts
function _Make64 ( $hi, $lo )
{
// on x64, we can just use int
if ( ((int)4294967296)!=0 )
return (((int)$hi)<<32) + ((int)$lo);
// workaround signed/unsigned braindamage on x32
$hi = sprintf ( "%u", $hi );
$lo = sprintf ( "%u", $lo );
// use GMP or bcmath if possible
if ( function_exists("gmp_mul") )
return gmp_strval ( gmp_add ( gmp_mul ( $hi, "4294967296" ), $lo ) );
if ( function_exists("bcmul") )
return bcadd ( bcmul ( $hi, "4294967296" ), $lo );
// compute everything manually
$a = substr ( $hi, 0, -5 );
$b = substr ( $hi, -5 );
$ac = $a*42949; // hope that float precision is enough
$bd = $b*67296;
$adbc = $a*67296+$b*42949;
$r4 = substr ( $bd, -5 ) + + substr ( $lo, -5 );
$r3 = substr ( $bd, 0, -5 ) + substr ( $adbc, -5 ) + substr ( $lo, 0, -5 );
$r2 = substr ( $adbc, 0, -5 ) + substr ( $ac, -5 );
$r1 = substr ( $ac, 0, -5 );
while ( $r4>100000 ) { $r4-=100000; $r3++; }
while ( $r3>100000 ) { $r3-=100000; $r2++; }
while ( $r2>100000 ) { $r2-=100000; $r1++; }
$r = sprintf ( "%d%05d%05d%05d", $r1, $r2, $r3, $r4 );
$l = strlen($r);
$i = 0;
while ( $r[$i]=="0" && $i<$l-1 )
$i++;
return substr ( $r, $i );
}
list(,$a) = unpack ( "N", "\xff\xff\xff\xff" );
list(,$b) = unpack ( "N", "\xff\xff\xff\xff" );
$q = _Make64($a,$b);
var_dump($q);

Now you should get PHP 7 - fully consistent 64-bit support. Not only integers, but also all the fstat, I/O, etc. PHP 7 on Windows is true 64-bit.
