[twitter-dev] Re: PostTwitpocalypse: Php / windows wierdness in handling larged tweet ids?

[Jeffrey Greenberg]

fyi: it appears this is a well-known php shortcoming in certain 32 bit
systems... php takes ints as signed... so you have to convert to double and
pay attention to some php.ini settings for precision/mantissa conversion to
get consistent results across systems....
But i'm still not clear if i can convert the double back into the proper
type when I interface to mysql...  again, and illumination would be
helpful...
