Description:
------------
Integer values in php.ini does not accepts values larger than 2G (or 
LONG_MAX ?).

This should be documented somewhere.


Reproduce code:
---------------
Set post_max_size to 2048M

Expected result:
----------------
post_max_size == 2048M

Actual result:
--------------
post_max_size == -2048M

Submiting a form with the POST method show the following line in the 
error log: (and $_POST is empty)
PHP Warning:  POST Content-Length of 566 bytes exceeds 
the limit of -2147483648 bytes in Unknown on line 0

Every configuration directive denotes its type. The integer type specifies its limits: "The size of an integer is platform-dependent, although a maximum value of about two billion is the usual value (that's 32 bits signed). PHP does not support unsigned integers."
