I am trying to store a phone number and I have reached some problems due to type casting? Anyone have any suggestions as to what is happening here?
var_dump((int)"6467838439"); // displays 'int 2147483647'
An integer is 32 bits and has a finite size of approximatly 2 billion so your phone number is being truncated. You should store it as a string.
