PHP interprets ints over 32 bits as floats, so they are valid.
"If you specify a number beyond the bounds of the integer type, it will be
interpreted as a float instead. Also, if you perform an operation that
results in a number beyond the bounds of the integer type, a float will be
returned instead."
