#013458: fetch numeric value from ini file

Are you running on a 32-bit platform? (Or have compiled PHP as 32-bit application?)

"Are you running on a 32-bit platform?" - Yes.

Maybe is better to cast only when the variable is numeric and is less than 2147483647, else you can assume that it's string ? I thinks so, cause modified user data is worse than integer data which is presented like float or string.

Okay, this is not a "bug". If you ask for the configuration value as integer, the component will cast this value to a number. I can't very easily detect whether the number fits in range. Because you ask for a number (integer), the component returns this type. Unfortunately PHP does simply limit it to the highest value if it is out of range. If you request this setting as a string, or float, it should return you the correct value. (If that's not the case, please re-open this report).

You are right, if it's possible to fetch big integer value like a string from ini file. Maybe there is a way to fetch the value like a string, but how ? I tried with:

$integer_1 = $cfg->getStringSetting('config', 'General', 'integer1');

The result was:

ezcConfigurationSettingWrongTypeException: The expected type for the setting 'General', 'integer1' is 'string'. The setting was of type 'integer'.

With getSetting() The value is casted automatically and it's not correct. Maybe getSetting() should returns the value like a string, no matter if it's an integer or something else ?

getSetting() returns casted integer value, not a string, when the value is too big integer

Code:
$cfg = ezcConfigurationManager::getInstance();
$cfg->init('ezcConfigurationIniReader', './' );
$integer_1 = $cfg->getSetting('config', 'General', 'integer1');

Ini file:
[General]
integer1 = 23213213123123123123

Result:
int 2147483647

Fixed in rev. 9029-9033 - it will now use a string if the integer is out of range.
