php integer overflow not working

[davlee]

I am having problems running a php program on my Asustor 302T box which runs fine on my Windows box.

I traced the problem down to a line of code:

$higherValue = 0xFFFFFFFF;

This should be an maximum unsigned int value of 4294967295, but PHP doesn't handle unsigned int so it should convert it to a float when it overflows an int. This is not happening on my Asustor. Instead it is just converting it to a max int value of 2147483647.

I wrote a small php test script:

var_dump(0x00000000);
var_dump(0xFFFFFFFF);
var_dump(0xFFFFFFFE);

On Windows:

int(0)
float(4294967295)
float(4294967294)

On Asustor Linux:

int(0)
int(2147483647) << no overflow to float
int(2147483647) << no overflow to float

How do I get integer overflow working? Do I have a bad build of PHP?
