Since you are requesting this in the PHP newsgroup, a search for INTEGER in the
PHP docs yields:

http://us2.php.net/intval

"The maximum value depends on the system. 32 bit systems have a maximum signed
integer range of -2147483648 to 2147483647. So for example on such a system,
intval('1000000000000') will return 2147483647. The maximum signed integer value
for 64 bit systems is 9223372036854775807."


Another point is that may have more to do with the OS you are on. So, if you
are running a 32bit OS on a 64bit CPU, the max integer value will still be
2147483647. It really has more to do with the compilers, math libraries and OS
limitations as well as those of the cpu type.
