Wamp x64上的MongoDB（win x64）= mongo.native_long错误

Question

I've a big problem with my development environment.

Context :
My computer : Win 8.1 x64
My WampServer install : x64
My MongoDB install : x64 from http://www.mongodb.org/downloads

I've installed the php extension from http://pecl.php.net/package/mongo.

My problem is that our production server store some 64 bits INT into the database.

When I try, in my development environment, to access to this data, I've got:

MongoCursorException

Cannot natively represent the long 1108547148863410176 on this platform

I found on internet that a parameter of mongoDB called "mongo.native_long = 1" is needed to use 64 bits INT on 64 bits architecture.
But when I try to add this param in my "php.ini" file, the server don't start and give me an error like :

[19-Nov-2014 18:25:52 UTC] PHP Fatal error: PHP Startup: To prevent data corruption, you are not allowed to turn on the mongo.native_long setting on 32-bit platforms in Unknown on line 0

Does my mongoDB extension DLL is build on 32 Bit or I missed something to do ?

Answer 1

For me the only thing that worked was:

ini_set('mongo.long_as_object', 1);

Hope it saves someone's time. It's one of those stupid things that make you wonder: "Why the hell did I become a programmer?"

EDIT: getting proper driver from http://pecl.php.net/package/mongo helped me. I've downloaded latest driver. Check your version using phpinfo() command. E.g. for me, on 64-bit Win7 it's:

PHP Version 5.5.12
PHP Extension Build:    API20121212,TS,VC11

Notice the "TS,VC11" string. It means it's Thread Safe, but your version may not be thread safe (NTS).

So I downloaded 64bit, TS for PHP 5.5. I was dealing with this problem long time and finally, proper driver solved this issue.
