I need to convert a number from 36-th base into an integer. The original number length is about 10 characters which seem to be bigger then PHP’s limits for integers.
In my case the original number looks like this: 9F02tq977. When converted I get the following result 8.46332972237E+12.
How can I store huge numbers in PHP?
Since BC Math doesn’t work with arbitrary base numbers, you could try using GMP functions if you have them available.

Otherwise you’ll probably have to rewrite your algorithm and write your own arbitrary precision arithemtic implementation of the validation algorithm.
