I have a box where I'm forced to use PHP before 64-bit integers became
standard ...

If I run a MySQL query where one of the fields returned is 64-bit integer,
how do I get this into PHP as a string? My recollection is that in the
result sets it "auto types" so that it is an integer, and 64-bit integers
will cause problems if one tries to assign into 32 bits.

P.S.--Once into PHP as a string, I would use the bcmath library to
manipulate it ...
