Is there a way to get an integer to be larger than 2147483647?

I am using a product id for my parts that I would like to be 11 characters in length but anything input over 2147483647 results in 2147483647. I’ve researched that this is the max number for an integer on a 32 bit server but I was wondering if it’s possible to do without changing to something other than an integer? I’ve seen it done with a float but I do need the value to be an integer or I end up getting errors… Do I need to look into hosting my site on a 64 bit server?

Thanks in advance,
Matt

@aj_nscNov 08.2011 — How are you using it? and why are you requiring it to be an integer? Could you skirt the problem by using it as a string? Sample code, or something similar, would be helpful.

Also, what's the reason it has to be so big?

Success!
