I know that I can do something like

$int = (int)99; //(int) has a maximum or 99 

To set the variable $int to an integer and give it a value of 99.

Is there a way to set the type to something like LongBlob in MySQL for LARGE Integers in PHP?

    No. PHP does what is called automatic type conversion.

    In your example

    $int = (int)123; 

    the ‘(int)’ just assures that at that exact moment 123 will be handled as an int.

    I think your best bet would be to use a class to provide some sort of type safety.
