If the lower bound for the type "integer" is -2147483648, then,
according to 

http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.integer.php

,var_dump() should have returned -2147483648 as int-typed instead of
float-typed.

The actual result now is
float(-2147483648)

Integer overflow

If you specify a number beyond the bounds of the integer type, it will
be interpreted as a float instead. Also, if you perform an operation
that results in a number beyond the bounds of the integer type, a float
will be returned instead.

Your "expected result" is based on an incorrect assumption.

The lower bound for type "integer" on a 32bit platform is in fact
-2147483648.

Description:
------------
The function var_dump() returns different data type for -2147483647 and
-2147483647-1

--Yipkei Kwok

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$int1 = -2147483648;
$int2 = -2147483647-1;
var_dump($int1);
var_dump($int2);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
float(-2147483648)
float(-2147483648)

The lower bound for data type integer is -2147483647. So, -2147483648
(-2147483647-1) should be regarded as float.

Actual result:
--------------
float(-2147483648)
int(-2147483648)

However, -2147483648 (-2147483647-1) is regarded as int.
