Declaring vars as INT ?

["Chris Knipe" <savage@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Uhm... Let's take the below quickly:

Function DoSomething($Blah) {
  $Blah = (int) $Blah;
  return $Blah
} 

$Blah, cannot be larger than 2147483647, and sometimes, I get negative
integers back from the above function.

This is with PHP 4.4.0 on FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE.  Can anyone else perhaps
confirm this, and if it is indeed true, is this a bug, or a limitation
somewhere on PHP?  Any other ways to confirm that *large* numbers, are
indeed integers?  I'm working with numbers in the form of yyyymmddsss
(20051025001 for today for example)

Thanks,
Chris.
