Description:
------------
FILTER_VALIDATE_INT should validate anything that normal people consider an integer as such, rather than being limited to what my computer can store in 32 bits.

Reproduce code:
---------------
filter_var('2147483648', FILTER_VALIDATE_INT);

Expected result:
----------------
returns '2147483648'

Actual result:
--------------
returns FALSE

It returns a PHP integer which is limited to 32bits.

If you like to get a string containing a big integer, you can use the sanitize rule.

Once PHP has 64bits integer support, it will be available in filter as well.

Not a bug > bogus.

I'm with the OP.  I'm migrating an app from HostMonster shared hosting to a 
WiredTree VPS.

On HM, filter_var runs as expected (as stated above).  On WiredTree, it returns 
false.

So, at BEST, PHP's behavior is inconsistent.

Ya, this is a bug.
