how to Filter_var integers for BIGINT values

[ajoo]

Hi, 

 

Is there any way to use the inbuilt filter functions in PHP to filter for integer values greater than 256? All examples that I saw had a max_range of 256. Kindly suggest. Thanks.

A signed integer will hold up to 2,147,483,648 (ie 2^31)

Hi Guru Barand, 

 

Does that mean that we can simply use a higher value in the max_range in options array of the filter_var and it would do the trick ?

 

Thanks again !

So long as that "higher value" isn't higher than 2147483648

Yes Sir ! Thanks Loads.

My mistake, the highest value is 2147483647 (2^31 - 1)
