Ninjakreborn Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Why can integers only hold a certain number, it's max number is2147483647from this point it is converted to a float.What is the point of this, does it have somethign to do with float being used also for fractions, or is there another reason, why the developers of php choose to make it's max number, that specific numberAnd excuse me for saying htisbut what is jan 1 whatever yeari Have heard this everywhere with every program language, the "magical year" is january first, of some old long lost date, what does that have to do with.
