I would rephrase my question.. Is it possible to get the maximum > integer-value that can be used? > Hi Try this code to see what it is on your platform: Brian <? // start with some number you are sure is an integer // make it a really high number to lessen the execution time $i = 2100000000; // if you want to do it on the first try, allow it to run until finished // it will almost certainly take more than 30 seconds set_time_limit(0); while(is_int($i)) { $i++; } // then you have the first number that doesn't qualify as int (on your platform) print($i) ?> -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
