Question

I’m using facebooks PHP SDK version 3. It turns out that it won’t work on 32-bit system as the SDK casts the facebook ids to integers and the ids can be larger than 2147483647 that is a 32-bit systems max integer value.

I also found the issue here https://github.com/facebook/php-sdk/issues/11

Is there anyone that has a “not so hacky” solution for this?

Answer 1

There is a workaround for this. Just change integer to string

Find this line

$user = $signed_request['user_id'];

and change it to

$user = (string) $signed_request['user_id'];

and also find

$user = $this->getUserFromAccessToken();

and change it to

$user = (string) $this->getUserFromAccessToken();

and also find

$user = $this->getPersistentData('user_id', $default = 0);

change it to

$user = (string) $this->getPersistentData('user_id', $default = 0);

And it works. Int isn’t able to handle such a long user ids on 32bit systems, that’s why is it making problems
