Question arose on php-dev:





How does ibase_gen_id() handle 64bit values?





Interbase 6/Firebird generators are always 64-bit signed integers


(Firebird's BIGINT type), regardless of the platform the client is


running. 


On 64-bit platforms, this will never require conversion as PHP's int


type is 64 bits wide on those platforms. On 32-bit platforms, the


generated value is converted to a string if it exceeds the limits of a


32-bit signed integer.


(This behaviour is consistent with the ibase_fetch_*() functions, that


will use strings to represent numerical values that cannot be represented


accurately using native PHP numerical types.)
