PHP: How to convert bigint from int to string?

问题

I want to be able to convert big ints into their full string derivatives.

For example.

$bigint = 9999999999999999999;
$bigint_string = (string) $bigint;
var_dump($bigint_string);

outputs

string(7) "1.0e+19"

but i need

string(19) "9999999999999999999"

Please don't tell me that I should just originally set the $bigint value as a string. That is not an option. I really am stuck and don't know if it is even possible?

回答1:

You actually should ensure that you type what you mean:

$bigint = 9999999999999999999;

Is not a PHP integer but float:

float(1.0E+19)

If you would have done

$bigint = (int) 9999999999999999999;

You would have set an integer in fact, but it would not be the number you might have expected:

int(-8446744073709551616)

It's no problem at all to turn that into string as you might have guessed. So take care when you write numbers into code that you actually write what you mean.

See this line again:

$bigint = 9999999999999999999;

try to understand what you have actually written. It's not an integer at all because PHP will turn it into a float. See Example #4 Integer overflow on a 64-bit system in the integer manual page.

If you need higher precision, checkout GNU Multiple Precision, it might have what you're looking for. However, this won't change how to write numbers in PHP:

$bigint = gmp_init("9999999999999999999");
$bigint_string = gmp_strval($bigint);
var_dump($bigint, $bigint_string);

Output:

resource(4) of type (GMP integer)
string(19) "9999999999999999999"

回答2:

Use strval().

echo strval($bigint); // Will output "99999999999999999"

EDIT: After a slightly better research (> 5000ms), I see that it is impossible to echo numbers to that precision, because PHP cannot save an integer of that size (depends on OS bit system, 32/64). Seems like it's not possible to do it without losing precision.

回答3:

Use printf(), it's made for that:

echo printf("%d", $bigint);

回答4:

Just store the value as string and display...!

   $bigint = '9999999999999999999';

    var_dump($bigint);

Output:

string(19) "9999999999999999999"
