Description:
------------
For some reason

Array
(
    [0] => dummy Object
        (
            [id] => 10047678003
            [pass] => XxX
        )

)

is transformed to

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns1="http://impl.ejb.flog.zcore.org/">
  <SOAP-ENV:Body>
    <ns1:authenticate>
      <id>2147483647</id>
      <pass>XxX</pass>
    </ns1:authenticate>
  </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

while it's based on this XSD snipplet:

<xs:complexType name="authenticate">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="id" type="xs:long"></xs:element>
<xs:element name="pass" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"></xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>



Expected result:
----------------
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns1="http://impl.ejb.flog.zcore.org/">
  <SOAP-ENV:Body>
    <ns1:authenticate>
      <id>10047678003</id>
      <pass>XxX</pass>
    </ns1:authenticate>
  </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

Actual result:
--------------
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns1="http://impl.ejb.flog.zcore.org/">
  <SOAP-ENV:Body>
    <ns1:authenticate>
      <id>2147483647</id>
      <pass>XxX</pass>
    </ns1:authenticate>
  </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

Hi,

a very dirty workaround is to download the wsdl an rewrite it locally to another datatype. Changing this line:

<xs:element name="id" type="xs:long"></xs:element>

to

<xs:element name="id" type="xs:float"></xs:element>

should work at least. But it's a very, very, VERY, VERY, VEWY, VEWY, VEWYVEWYVEWY dirty workaround and you'll got to hell for this or even worse!
 [2009-07-15 14:18 UTC] rob at zcore dot org 
Sorry, this one is way toooo dirty.
 [2009-09-25 16:42 UTC] persiancity at gmail dot com 
I have the same problem ( http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=49669 ) but float replacement not working!
 [2009-09-25 16:51 UTC] sjoerd@php.net 
I can not reproduce it with PHP 5.2 HEAD. Can you check with a sniffer, or with __getLastRequest/Response if the error also occurs in the request?
 [2009-09-25 17:20 UTC] persiancity at gmail dot com 
I am not pro in SOAP so maybe provide me __getLastRequest/Response testing code?
 [2009-09-25 17:23 UTC] persiancity at gmail dot com 
another note:
I get corrent result sends from a server using PHP 5.2.42
Incorrect result sends from a server with PHP 5.2.9

Hi,

in the meantime my company upgraded to 5.2.11 (security reasons); the bug seems to be in there, too.

Unluckily updating to HEAD is no option, since we are using the ZendPlatform.

I experience a similar issue on latest FreeBSD+Apache-2.2.13+PHP5.2.11 whiling passing longint to a postgresql. When passing a number larger then maxint, it's reduced to 2147483647.
 [2009-09-28 19:12 UTC] sjoerd@php.net 
To properly diagnose this bug, we need the SOAP request and response. You can get that using a sniffer (Wireshark) or using __getLastRequest and __getLastResponse. See the PHP manual for information on these methods.

Hey guys,

this serious bug is still damaging SOAP envelopes with long in there. We have the same problem on PHP 5.3.2 and 5.3.3 (32Bit) under Windows 2008R2 (64Bit) with IIS7. I think the bug reporter posted exactly the last request in order to fix this issue. Here is ours:

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/\" xmlns:ns1=\"http://rsp.soap.atlas.jungheinrich.de/\">
	<SOAP-ENV:Body>
		<ns1:sendConfigurationData>
			<arg0>
				<ffzId>96D</ffzId>
				<gatewayIds>3B27DE81</gatewayIds>
		    </arg0>
			<arg1>
				<header>
					<options>2147483647</options>
					<messageId>36</messageId>
					<created>2010-10-27T16:54:19</created>
					<expires>1970-01-01T01:00:00</expires>
					<deviceId>96D</deviceId>
					<formatRevision>0</formatRevision>
				</header>
			</arg1>
		</ns1:sendConfigurationData>
	</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

I believe that it is time to fix this loooong problem with long datatypes.

My 2 cents

PHP on windows uses 32bit integer for long, always. That's not possible to fix easily either.

Two choices, either convert to double when an integer overflow happens, or wait until we have big integer support.
 [2010-10-27 20:20 UTC] periklis dot tsirakidis at mayflower dot de 
Ouch... Pierre, 

one serious notice is, that we changed the wsdl for <options> from xsd:long to xsd:string and the problem is still there. Do we have here an auto-casting from string to long?

Any ideas?
 [2010-10-27 20:46 UTC] pajoye@php.net 
try:

$a = "1234";
$b = 1234;

if ($a == $b) echo "hopla";

well known problem related to php auto casting, or better said, typeless.

PHP 5.5.12 x86 on Windows 8 and it's still there. Thankfully the workaround in the comment #1 works for me. Thank you "ghostbaer at gmx dot de", you saved my work.

Even if you pass a huge integer as a string it is mixed up.

Reason: PHP 5.6.23, file ext/soap/php_encoding.c, function to_xml_long:

Line 1118:

                if (Z_TYPE(tmp) != IS_LONG) {
                        convert_to_long(&tmp);
                }
                convert_to_string(&tmp);

If a string is passed, it should not be converted to long and back to string loosing precision with very long integers.
 [2016-10-28 15:19 UTC] perske at uni-muenster dot de 
Simple Fix:

In ext/soap/php_encoding.c, in all lines containing

  XSD_...INTEGER

i.e. for all XML data types containing integers of unlimited size,
replace "long" with "string", e.g.

        {{XSD_INTEGER, XSD_INTEGER_STRING, XSD_NAMESPACE, NULL}, to_zval_long, to_xml_long},

becomes

        {{XSD_INTEGER, XSD_INTEGER_STRING, XSD_NAMESPACE, NULL}, to_zval_string, to_xml_string},

This fix brings a minor incompatibility if somebody checks value and type of the result of a SOAP function.
(An alternative would be to add a function to_zval_long_or_string that returns an integer if it fits and otherwise a string.)
