Invalid numeric literal

[Destramic]

hey guys im tyring to pass a integer to a method and i get this error:

 

 

Invalid numeric literal

 

 

when using this code

$this->get_model('contract:contracts')->send_verification_pin(070000000000);

i could use quotes like so 

$this->get_model('contract:contracts')->send_verification_pin('070000000000');

but then the integer has the 0 missing at the beginning...this is my debug

int(7000000000)
/^07\d{9}$/
["Phone Number: Invalid phone number."]

where is this missing 0 please guys?

 

thank you

Numbers that begin with a 0 are octal based numbers. I'd guess you get the error due to running a 32-bit version of PHP, in which case 070000000000 is larger than PHP can handle as an integer.

 

On a related note, don't try and treat phone numbers as actual numbers, treat them a strings. Just because some value only consists of digits doesn't mean it needs to be treated as an integer type.

Thank you for your help...changing the int to string work perfectly
