Description:
------------
The addition of two integers exceeds the maximum value of the integer. After an overflow occurs, the resulting value is distorted.
I test in C/C++/Go and got different results from PHP, but they get the same results.

Test script:
---------------
var_dump(intval(9223372036854775807 + 1));
// int(-9223372036854775808)
var_dump(intval(9223372036854775807 + 2));
// int(-9223372036854775808)
var_dump(intval(9223372036854775807 + 3));
// int(-9223372036854775808)

Expected result:
----------------
int(-9223372036854775808)
int(-9223372036854775807)
int(-9223372036854775806)

Actual result:
--------------
int(-9223372036854775808)
int(-9223372036854775808)
int(-9223372036854775808)

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

https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.integer.php
> If PHP encounters a number beyond the bounds of the int type, it will be
> interpreted as a float instead. Also, an operation which results in a number
> beyond the bounds of the int type will return a float instead.

> When converting from float to int, the number will be rounded towards zero.
>
> If the float is beyond the boundaries of int (usually +/- 2.15e+9 = 2^31 on
> 32-bit platforms and +/- 9.22e+18 = 2^63 on 64-bit platforms), the result is
> undefined, since the float doesn't have enough precision to give an exact int
> result. No warning, not even a notice will be issued when this happens!
