New Comment:
fixed. Now if the integer returned can't fit in a long, we keep it as a string. You
can tell if an overflow occurred by looking at the return type (long vs string).
Both dbase_get_record() and dbase_get_record_with_names() got fixed.
Still need to update documentation to reflect that chage.

Numerical values can be represented by up to 18 characters of text. They can be up to
20 characters long in FoxPro and Clipper. Even 10 characters is more than we can fit
in a long right? So, this is a bug even for numbers represented by 10 characters.
Question: Should we just return those large numbers as text (since we do not have an
appropriate datatype in PHP) and say so clearly in documentation, or should we just
always return them as text (which is more consistent, and shouldn't break too many
things since text and integers in PHP are not all that different as far as users are
concerned.
I'd opt for the first option. It won't break anyone's stuff, and will allow people
with large integers to still use it. I want to see if anyone has a different opinion,
and if not, I'll implement a fix (first option).
I'll also assign it to myself (hope nobody minds)

this also seems to do funny things to HTTP_SERVER_VARS['argv']

Is this one fixed in newer versions of php4?
(CVS or snaps.php.net)
