I am parsing a JSON response (twitter api – cursor value) and what should be a string value seems to be a double value when I output it with PHP.
Any idea how I get the real string value?

The curser value is too large for 32bit PHP installs to handle with json_decode. Someone sent me
preg_replace( '/next_cursor":(\d+)/', 'next_cursor":"\1"', $json );. Running that before json_decode will convert the json int to a string before conversion.Update: Twitter now provides next_cursor_str values that are strings instead of integers so using
preg_replaceis no longer needed.
