Cannot print bigint with Fat Free Framework

Question

Hello I try to retrieve a value with fat free framework from mysql . Value is stored as bigint in db but when I retrieve it prints 2147483647 . Any suggestions?

Answer 1

On a 32 bit system, 2147483647 is the largest possible integer that can be stored. You have two options.

Option 1: Convert the integer to a string using MySQL's CAST during the query, so that PHP reads/stores it as a string rather than integer

Option 2: Use a library like BC Math or GMP to manage & manipulate large integers
