Breaking 2.147 Billion


StormTheGates

Recommended Posts

I run a game and one of the features is Russian Roulette. The problem Ive been having is that when a user wins they get 2x their money. However if that value exceeds the max of a 32bit integer, 2.147 billion or so they loose the extra money they should have won. How can I rectify this?

 

Thanks.

Should be able to do:

 

mysql_query("UPDATE users SET money=money+money WHERE username='$username'");
-or-
mysql_query("UPDATE users SET money=money*2 WHERE username='$username'");

 

:) MYSQL is probably better at it then php, because the value will never even be set in php's memory this way.

 

Best, Nathan
