Description:
------------
This text is telling me that an Integer in PHP is 100 Bytes big?

"A simple example of this is to reimplement the range() function as a generator. The standard range() function has to generate an array with every value in it and return it, which can result in large arrays: for example, calling range(0, 1000000) will result in well over 100 MB of memory being used. "

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

No, it says that an array with 1,000,000 integers uses well over
100 MB. nikic has explained what's happening behind the scenes
quite nicely in a blog article:
