    Its because 2,147,483,647 is the largest Signed number in 32bits. Either take long unsigned numbers or for more details type the number "2,147,483,647" in wikipedia or google :)

    How to get past it if you're coding something in php?

    Bohra, what's a 64bit? Does that depend on your server?
