PHP doesn't support integers of that size, so I have no idea what the issue
is. PHP uses the same size as a long integer on your system. You can test
this quite easily, in PHP do, printf("%u\n", ~0);, on my system it prints
4294967295, the maximum unsigned value for a 32bit integer. It clearly does
not give me a 225 digit number. So if you have a 225 digit number in PHP,
it's a string, not a numeric. Therefore, store it as a string in C++ as
well.
