and besides, you should consider using more accurate operators for
sensitive data:

PHP is not actually meant to do real-time calculations or to write
3D-engines in. Also, there is no precalculated sine table and no int
13h in PHP :)

11/34 or bcdiv(11, 34) should do the trick.

AFAIK, PHP stores any number from MySQL as a string, until you access
it as a number. If you try to do some math on that number, that will
probably not work as expected. Bitshifting won't work either.

echo (11>>34) produces "2"

Also PHP docs state that the max integer is "usually" 32 bits.  So what
is an unsigned bigint from mysql stored as, and can I use the bit shift
operator on it?
