That's expected, we use a 32bit for integer and unlike other platforms, it is portable (same type won't vary, in C).

Just to make this clear: "we" means "Windows" in that case, the Windows developers and Visual Studio developers decided to use a 32bit type for representing the "long" data type. Many Unix(-like) operating systems decided to use a 64bit type for "long" on 64bit machines. The C standard allows both. PHP uses whatever the operating system uses. We have plans for a platform independent large integer but that needs some work, maybe it appears some day, maybe not.
