Description:
------------
PHP implicitly converts integers to floats when they exceed MAX_LONG, making implementing various algorithms in PHP quite difficult.  The change in float-to-integer conversion in version 5.0.2 causes even more grief as floats are now truncated.  An option for letting integers overflow instead of converting them to floats would be great.  Or perhaps a set of functions for doing integer-math.

Old request is old.
