I'm interacting with the facebook api which is sending me back some rather large id for instance
$facebook_action['id'] => "123540931515315"
intval($facebook_action['id']) gives me "2147483647"
In my database I had planned to store it as an integer however these might be too big as in php conversion returns to me the largest int value. Should I just be storing these as a string instead or how do I handle this?
In MySQL I see I can use BIG INTEGER however how can I handle this in PHP?
