title: How to handle Facebooks new UID sizes?
body: <p>I've been working a little bit on a Facebook application, but when I registered a new user to test the friend interaction the new user got a uid (<code>100000XXXXXXXXX</code>) that seems to big for php to handle. </p>
  
  <p>Saving the number in the database results in the same value (<code>2147483647</code>). I'm guessing this is also PHPs fault, as I would believe the uid would fit in an unsigned bigint?</p>
  
  <p>I'm not quite sure where to go from here, any suggestions?</p>
