Description:
------------
If a server returns a use integer like in
<Serial xsi:type="xsd:integer">8688597941889535165991696066</Serial>
The PHP script does not get the complete huge integer but a rounded float like
86885979418895E+27
This is inacceptable for most use cases.

To fix, modify ext/soap/php_encoding.c: Replace the line:
{{XSD_INTEGER, XSD_INTEGER_STRING, XSD_NAMESPACE, NULL}, to_zval_long, to_xml_long},
with the line
{{XSD_INTEGER, XSD_INTEGER_STRING, XSD_NAMESPACE, NULL}, to_zval_stringc, to_xml_string},

The same should be done with these lines:
{{XSD_NONPOSITIVEINTEGER, XSD_NONPOSITIVEINTEGER_STRING, XSD_NAMESPACE, NULL}, to_zval_long, to_xml_long},
{{XSD_POSITIVEINTEGER, XSD_POSITIVEINTEGER_STRING, XSD_NAMESPACE, NULL}, to_zval_long, to_xml_long},
{{XSD_NONNEGATIVEINTEGER, XSD_NONNEGATIVEINTEGER_STRING, XSD_NAMESPACE, NULL}, to_zval_long, to_xml_long},
{{XSD_NEGATIVEINTEGER, XSD_NEGATIVEINTEGER_STRING, XSD_NAMESPACE, NULL}, to_zval_long, to_xml_long},
{{XSD_INTEGER, XSD_INTEGER_STRING, XSD_NAMESPACE, NULL}, to_zval_long, to_xml_long},


Test script:
---------------
n/a

The change from to_xml_long to to_xml_string is not necessary,
but to_zval_long must be changed to to_zval_stringc (or to_zval_string).

Please check and implement the fix I have proposed. It hardly does break anything and it helps in many use cases of SOAP.

Please fix in the upcoming 8.0.
This bug is really annoying.

PLEASE add the proposed little fix to 8.0
With the switch to 8.0, this very minor backward incompatibility is really no problem.

I'm sorry but I do not know how to work with github.
But I think anybody who knows how to work with github can convert my proposed change into a pull request easily. Would anyone be so kind to do it?
