I'm doing development on a windows box (32bit) with lamp/php and production is linux based, running on ec2... I'm handling all tweet ids as 32bit unsigned in mysql so I'm ok with the twitpocalypse, at least on the linux systems. But my development stuff under windows is choking on negative tweetids.
I can see the search results Twitter is sending me as JSON and it has a new big tweet id. The php code calls json_decode( $jsonStr ) to get the data into php types. When I look at the tweet id immediately after the json_decode() I see a negative value, and so I'm sunk at that point on my windows/dev box. I'm wondering if this is a json_decode issue, or a php issue under windows? And what can I do about it? windows php is: 5.2.3, and linux php is; 5.2.4 Appreciating your responses and suggestions in advance! jeffrey http://www.tweettronics.com http://www.jeffrey-greenberg.com
